Homebrew Beer Recipe FAQs

What brewing instructions should I use?

Mr. Beer keeps the most up-to-date instructions on the website. Find them on each product page under the Instructions tab or visit the brewing instructions page for a complete guide.

What temperature should I ferment my beer at?

Ales ferment at 60–75°F. Lagers ferment at 45–55°F. Yeast performance is temperature-dependent.

How long should my beer condition?

Condition beer for at least 3 weeks; some beers benefit from longer conditioning.

What is the difference between Standard, Deluxe, and Craft refills?

Standard refills use Booster to increase ABV without changing flavor. Deluxe refills replace Booster with liquid malt extract for improved body, flavor, and foam retention. Craft refills use a larger extract can to reach about 5% ABV without additional fermentables.
