Bought the ingredients for this refill. Was not too bad. It had a great taste and went down smoothly! I really enjoyed making this one and I would definitely try this one again! I would consider adding a bit more cherries than what the instructions ask for but other than that I really enjoyed this!

While not a fan of either weissbier or fruit-flavored beers I bought 2 qts. Of fresh tart Michigan cherries on a trip there just to try them in this recipe. I pitted cleaned puréed double strained them and froze them for10 days. I then made per the recipe. It came out good. The cherries leave a slight aroma of the fruit but not so much the taste. They do add a good tartness. If you like wheat beer you will probably like this and I do like it considering it's a wheat beer. I like that the cherries don't make it taste sweet or fruity. One caution you need to strain better than I did the bottom of the keg had some cherry pulp.

I've always been a fan of cherry wheat beer so when I saw this I had to order it! This is my second home brew. My first was ok but not quite what I wanted. And when I read some of the other reviews I was skeptical. But I followed the directions and stuck to the fermentation and conditioning temperatures religiously. I conditioned for 3 weeks butwasn't satisfied. I waited another week and a half and was reward with a great beer for the fourth of July holiday!

This was the second Mr. Beer recipe I brewed. (The first came out great.) I followed the recipe exactly and thoroughly sanitized everything. Let it ferment for three weeks condition for a month and then tried it.Unfortunately the beer has an unpleasant cider-like aftertaste. Slightly sour... like beer mixed with cherry cider. The recipe instructs you to add the cherries at the beginning however I read elsewhere that you should wait to add the cherries about a week into fermentation... this may help avoid the cider taste.I have about 15 bottles that have been conditioning for over six months. I'm not ready to dump them. Hopefully the cider effect has mellowed with the long conditioning.
