I am officially obsessed. I placed a decent sized order today from Mr. Beer. I used a 10% coupon code that was mailed with a free stick on thermometer after I registered on the website. I found a Fallen Friar recipe that I want to do after the Whispering Wheat is done. I already have the two cans of Hopped Malt Extract from my previous variety pack and just need to order some additional hops. I will elaborate on some items, but here is a complete list of what I purchased:
Hand Bottle Capper
Metal Bottle Caps (Qty 144)
Spigot and Wand Assembly
Hydrometer & 10" Sample Tube
BrewTensils Package
2 Gallon Fermenter (Beer Keg)
Premium Refill 4 Pack
Muslin Hop Sack
Sterling Pellet Hops
I purchased the bottle capper
and caps (Qty 144)
because I wanted to start using 12 0z. glass bottles. I don't think there is anything wrong with the 1 liter plastic Mr. Beer bottles. I just wanted to have the option of bottling my beer in smaller quantities.
Without getting into too much detail right here, a hydrometer is used to measure the gravity of the beer. The ABV can be determined from calculating the difference between the reading taken before the yeast is added and the reading after fermentation has finished. It will be very helpful when I start doing all extract brewing.
I ordered the Premium Refill 4 Pack instead of the standard refills. Each refill has 2 cans of Hopped Malt Extract and no booster.
1 American Devil IPA
1 Pilothouse Pilsner
1 Sticky Wicket
1 Witty Monk
