    Best way to spend an hour and a half (5400 sec.)

    Each Mr. Beer recipe I've tried has been a little more complex and they've all been great. This batch was outstanding and it was ready for drinking right around the holidays - so I was able to get some taste testers - and to be honest the homebrew came out on top. Great work by Zach Manchester on this clone - and for the helpful staff at Mr. Beer.
