Spigot

Washer Keg Wall Nut

Step 1: Assembling the Spigot

Step 2: Cleaning

Step 3: ewing

Step 4: Bottling & Carbonating

1. Place washer on the spigot with the

beveled (narrower) edge facing the

threads, then insert spigot into keg.

Washer is outside of keg. Place

the nut with the wide flat side against

the inside keg wall and gently hand

tighten.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

2. Fill the keg with water then let the keg sit

for at least 15 minutes to test for leaks

no longer than 30 minutes, maximum.

3. Apply Mr. Beer

®

label to front of keg.

(Optional)

1. Remove the yeast packet from under the lid of the

can of Brewing Extract, then place the unopened

can in hot tap water.

2. Using the cleaned measuring cup, pour 4 cups

of water into your 3-quart or larger pot.

If Booster Pack is included add slowly while

stirring into cool water until dissolved.

Bring water to a boil, and then remove from heat.

3. Open the can of brewing extract and pour it into the

boiled water. Stir until thoroughly mixed. This mixture is called wort.

4. Fill fermenter with cold 40-55°F or 4-12°C water to line

mark 1 on the back.

TIP: For best results, use bottled spring water or charcoal-ltered

tap water between 40° and 60° F.

5. Pour the wort into the keg, and then bring the

volume of the keg to the line mark 2 by adding

more cold water. Mix vigorously with the spoon

or whisk.

6. Sprinkle the entire yeast packet into the keg,

then screw on the lid. Do not stir.

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 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

per the table below. For other bottle sizes see: http://www.mrbeer.com/help.

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.

1. Fill clean keg with warm water to the 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.

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. Allow to sit for

at least 2 minutes, and then swirl again.

3. Remove lid and place underneath the spigot, open the

spigot and fill the lid. Close the spigot and dispense the

cleaning solution from the lid.

3. Dispense all of the sanitizing solution into a large

bowl. Place your spoon, can opener, and measuring

cup into the bowl to sanitize and keep them cleaned

throughout the brewing process for at least 2 minutes

in cleaning solution before using utensils.

4. After all surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, do not rinse or dry the

fermenter or utensils. Proceed immediately to the brewing process.

Cleaning is an essential step in the brewing process because it kills microscopic

bacteria, wild yeast and molds that may cause off flavors in your beer. YOU MUST

CLEAN ALL EQUIPMENT THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH YOUR BEER.

Now, you’re ready to brew!

There are four ingredients needed to produce beer: malted barley, hops, yeast,

and water. The brewing process combines malt, hops and water to produce

wort (pronounced wert). The wort is then combined with yeast, and with a little

patience, the wort is transformed into beer. Mixing your first batch should take

about 30 minutes, but it isn’t beer until the yeast does its part. If you keep your

fermenting beer between 68°-76°F or 20°-24°C the yeast will stay happy, and

should finish between 14 - 21 days.

After 2-3 weeks, you will know the beer is ready to bottle and carbonate by

tasting a small sample. The beer should taste like flat beer. If the beer is sweet,

make sure that it is in the correct temperature range 68°-76°F or 20°-24°C and

let it ferment for a few days longer, but no longer than a total of 4 weeks. Once

fermentation is complete, you will transfer the beer into bottles and, depending

on bottle size, add the appropriate amount of priming sugar to produce the

proper level of carbonation. Carbonation is created when yeast metabolizes the

priming sugar to create carbon dioxide. Under pressure, the CO2 bubbles have

nowhere to go but to remain in solution. In order to carbonate the beer, it must

be transferred into bottles.

After a few days, the foam and activity will subside and your batch will appear to

be dormant. However, the yeast is still at work, slowly finishing the fermentation

process. Allow the fermentation approximately 2-3 weeks to ensure the process

is complete, and that the beer is well clarified and ready for bottling.

Caution:

DO NOT OPEN THE BREW KEG LID AT ANY TIME DURING

THE FERMENTATION PROCESS; THIS CAN CAUSE BEER SPOILAGE.

Caution:

TOO MUCH SUGAR AND/OR BOTTLING YOUR BEER

TOO EARLY MAY RESULT IN GUSHING OR BURST BOTTLES DUE TO OVER

CARBONATION. TOO LITTLE SUGAR WILL RESULT IN A FLAT BEER.
