[ARCHIVED THREAD] - So dipping my toes in brewing again.

How are the Mr Beer brewing for people just trying to get into it without having knowledge? I did very little brewing hell 25 years ago with a 5G carboy cause that was what around them. I am not much of a beer drinking thus why I am looking at these cheap kits. I know that cleanest is where it is at. Other than that for someone getting into it with not much money what else should I look for. And I got the Mr Beer kits without paying for them.

Two ways of getting it done.

Do it right or do it again.

Buy a proper bucket or carboy and you will have less frustration and more options.

There is absolutely no reason to proceed without PROPER KNOWLEDGE.

You won't really learn anything using a Mr. Beer. And it makes such a small batch that it's not worth the squeeze.

I agree yet it was gifted to me. And has been 25ish years since I attempted to brew beer. I know clean the shit out of everything which was the same 30 years ago.

Go to your local homebrew shop. They should have a kit that will make you 5 gallons of beer. They also have recipe kits. Start with extract brewing. You can ferment in a bucket if you want to, it'll turn out OK. You can bottle condition for carbonation. Start with something like an amber ale, brown ale, or pale ale. Something easy-ish and easy to drink. Watch the temperature of the location of your fermenter. 68-70 degrees I think is ideal for most beer yeasts.
