How to Brew Beer with Your Mr. Beer Kit

Sanitizing is the key to great-tasting beer — and it’s quick and easy.

• Fill your keg with warm water to line 1
• Add half the sanitizer packet and stir until dissolved
• Close the lid and swirl to coat all surfaces
• Let sit for at least 2 minutes
• Run solution through the spigot briefly
• Pour remaining solution into a bowl and place tools inside

This is where your beer comes to life.

• Place the unopened extract can in hot tap water for 10 minutes
• Heat 4 cups of water, then remove from heat
• Add Booster and stir until dissolved (skip if not included)
• Open the can and stir in the extract until fully dissolved
• Fill the keg with cold water to line 1
• Pour in the wort, then top off to line 2 and mix well
• Sprinkle in yeast and close the lid — do not stir

Now the yeast does the work — just set it and let it do its thing.

• Place your keg in a cool, dark location
• Keep temperature between 68–78°F (ideal: 70–72°F)
• Let it sit undisturbed for 10–14 days

Time to get your beer ready for carbonation.

• Taste a small sample. If it tastes like flat beer, it is ready to bottle. If it tastes sweet, let it ferment longer
• Clean and sanitize your bottles and bottling equipment
• Do not rinse after sanitizing
• Add carbonation drops or sugar to each bottle
• Fill bottles to about 2 inches from the top
• Cap tightly and check the seal on each bottle

This is where your beer becomes beer — carbonation and flavor develop over time.

• Add 2 carbonation drops to each bottle
• Store bottles upright at room temperature
• Let sit for at least 14 days
• Chill before drinking
