A new take on a perennial favorite! The original recipe was submitted by a loyal customer in Michigan, and gained quite a following over the years. We've reformulated to keep the integrity of the recipe alive, but with a new twist. Still lusciously malty, perfectly balanced with hops and full flavored, it will surely (don't call me Shirley, I'm Rose) become one of your new favorites!

    STEP 1: Sanitizing

    Cleaning is one of the most important steps in brewing. It kills microscopic bacteria, wild yeast and molds that may cause off-flavors in your beer. Make certain to clean all equipment that comes in contact with your beer by following the directions below:

    1. Fill clean keg with warm water to line mark 1 on the back, then add ½ pack (about 1 tablespoon) of No-Rinse Cleanser and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution is ready to use. Save the remaining ½ of No-Rinse Cleanser because you will need it for bottling.

    2.Screw on lid and swirl the keg so that the cleaning solution makes contact with the entire interior of the keg, including the underside of the lid. Note that the ventilation notches under the lid may leak solution. Allow to sit for at least 2 minutes and swirl again.

    3.To clean the spigot, open it fully and allow liquid to flow for 5 seconds and then close.

    4.Pour the rest of the solution from the keg into a large bowl. Place your spoon/whisk, can opener and measuring cup into the bowl to keep them cleaned throughout the brewing process. Leave them immersed for at least 2 minutes in cleaning solution prior to using.

    5.After all surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, do not rinse or dry the keg or utensils. Return lid to top of keg, proceed immediately to brewing.


    STEP 2: BREWING

    Brewing beer is the process of combining a starch source (in this case, a malt brewing extract) with yeast. Once combined, the yeast eats the sugars in the malt, producing alcohol and carbon dioxide (CO2). This process is called fermentation.

    1. Remove the yeast packet from under the lid of the can of Brewing Extract,then place the unopened can and BrewMax LME in hot tap water.

    2. Using the measuring cup, pour 4 cups of water into your clean 3-quart or larger pot, mix in the 2 packets of Booster, stir untill dissolved and bring the mixture to a boil then remove from heat.

    3. Open the can of Brewing Extract, BrewMax LME and pour the contents into the hot mixture in your pot. Stir until thoroughly mixed. This mixture of unfermented beer is called wort.

    4. Fill your fermenter with cold tap water to the mark 1 on the back. If using any other fermenter this would be approximately 1 gallon of water.

    5. Pour the wort into your fermenter, and then bring the volume of the fermenter to mark 2 by adding more cold water. (If you have a different fermenter top it off with cold water to the 8.5-liter mark).

    6. Stir your wort mixture vigorously with your sanitized spoon or whisk.

    7. Sprinkle the yeast packet into the keg, and screw on the lid. Do not stir.

    Put your fermenter in a location with a consistent temperature between 70° and 78° F (21°-25° C), and out of direct sunlight. Ferment for 14 days.


    STEP 3: Bottling & Carbonating

    After 14 days, taste a small sample to determine if the beer is fully fermented and ready to bottle. If it tastes like flat beer, it is ready. If it’s sweet, then it’s not ready. Let it ferment for 3 more days (17 total). At this point it is time to bottle. Do not let it sit in the fermenter for longer than 24 days total.

    1.When your beer is ready to bottle, fill a 1-gallon container with warm water, then add the remaining ½ pack of the No-Rinse Cleanser and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, it is ready to use.

    2.Distribute the cleaning solution equally among the bottles. Screw on caps (or cover with metal cap if using glass bottles) and shake bottles vigorously. Allow to sit 10 minutes, then shake the bottles again. Remove caps and empty all cleaning solution into a large bowl. Use this solution to clean any other equipment you may be using for bottling. Do not rinse.

    3.Add 2 Carbonation Drops to each 740-mL bottle. For 1-liter bottles, add 2 ½ drops; for ½-liter bottles add 1 drop. Alternatively, you can add table sugar using this table as a guide

    4.Holding the bottle at an angle, fill each bottle to about 2 inches from the bottle’s top.

    5.Place caps on bottles, hand tighten, and gently turn the bottle over to check the bottle’s seal. It is not necessary to shake them.

    6.Store the bottles upright and out of direct sunlight in a location with a consistent temperature between 70°-76°F or 21°-24°C. Allow to sit for a minimum of 14 days. If the temperature is cooler than suggested it may take an additional week to reach full carbonation. 


    Tip from our Brewmasters

    After the primary carbonation has taken place your beer is ready to drink. We recommend putting 1 bottle in the refrigerator at first for 48 hrs. After 48hrs. give it a try and if it is up to your liking put the rest of your beer in the fridge. If it does not taste quite right, leave the bottles out at room temp for another week or so. Keep following this method until your brew tastes just how you like it. 

    This process is called conditioning and during this time the yeast left in your beer can help clean up any off flavors. Almost everything gets a little better with time and so will your beer.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by gecko90069 from Once, in Saint Olaf... I have a husband who hates hops but likes a beer with character. Taking a page from the girls at Gastropod, I threw some herbs in with this brew and it turned Rose in to one zesty redhead. Thanks to the added lavender and sage, I'd say she turned out more Sophia than Rose. While it's no gerflurkenurkin, it's still an incredibly refreshing take on this recipe that I intend to repeat over and over like the story about the time at Grandfather Lindstrom's herring circus when he shot a herring out of a cannon. It was a disaster, however, because the herring hit a tree. After that incident, no other herring would volunteer, so the cannon fell out of use.

    Rated 4 out of 5 by NM_NY from Makes hte brew again list This was my second batch I was wondering if it would have a nice head since my first batch did not have any, almost none (more to do with me then the beer) Anyway I popped the flip top and it sounded like a champaign bottle, a good sign for sure, when I poured it in the glass I was like WOW, I had to stop for a bit to let the head go down. When I poured the glass I had a nice head on top with some even rising above the rim some. Then came the taste, again it was soooo good. My only regret was that I only had one that was cold that night. I have two of them in the fridge for tomorrow evening....looking foreword to them.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Charlie M from Rose's Rambling Red- My Favorite Mr Beer! I've been brewing Mr Beers for about four years. My favorites use the Oktoberfest HME, and Rose's Rambling Red is the best of those. Great malty flavor, smooth, not real hoppy tasting- which is what I like. My friends keep telling me it's so good I should enter it in a brewing contest-and I keep telling them it's not mine recipe, it's Mr Beer. Great stuff!

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Beerguy 2019 from Nice Beer! Little to no foam. Keeps bubbling in glass long after it is poured. I've brewed about 15 types of beer now from Mr. Beer and this one is one of my favorites!!

    Rated 4 out of 5 by Brutus from Nice flavor. but! This has a nice flavor but a weird aftertaste. I let it condition for three weeks and refrigerated it for 3 days and It tasted a bit off. I let it condition another three weeks and tried another and it was better but not great. I'm going to let the rest condition for another month and see how it is. This is the first Mr. Beer of the twelve or so that I've brewed that wasn't exceptional at first taste.
