Mr. Beer Goes Horribly Wrong

- My first experience brewing my own beer. Doesn't turn out ideal... But if you want to see what does turn out ideal... Watch me revisit this kit 5 years later by clicking here: • Mr. Beer Goes Horribly...
Best Lines:
"Personally, I drink Pabst Blue Ribbon & Bud Light very frequently - so I'm not going to mind how this tastes"
"The instructions said: 'If you want to boost the alcohol add 1/2 cup sugar'...so, of course, I added 2 cups of sugar"
"It tastes like the flavor in your mouth when you burp after eating a lot of breadsticks"
8:54 "......it's gross ..... I could get used to this ...." LOL
+Russell Thorburn Thanks for the comment.
Russell Thorburn lol taste like a burp after eating too many bread sticks. I could get used to this
I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Good stuff. "It kind of tastes like a belch after eating bread sticks"
Could not stop laughing when you said '1996'.
10/10 for effort
Laurie Williams Lol, thanks for the comment.
I love how you say "Yeah, that tastes kinda awful." with such a straight face. :P
I'll be sure to check out more of your vids :D
Thank you very much Scott, I appreciate the comment.
holy shit. I've never laughed so hard in my life as I just did after you took that first sip. thank you. 15 yr old kit?? wtf
I stopped watching at 4 minutes.....
The list of mistakes was too much.
Get a coopers kit new from the shop and follow the instructions. Perfect beer.
+Ade Larsen This. Coopers kits are easy as fuck and always turn out superb.
Blackboarder77 Yes, they are bloody great. I only use the Coopers Premium range and the results are amazing.
The temperature doesn't even matter.
If sanitization is perfect then you get perfect beer. I've never had a bad brew ever - testament to the Coopers quality and my sanitization.
Cheers :-)
+Ade Larsen Yes. They are the best.
+Ade Larsen does it get you fucked up though? i love beer with a good amount of alcohol
Antonio Alanis Like all home brew made from Coopers, there is no hang over nor any negative sides.
Home brew with Coopers makes you feel good during and after :-)
Cheers.
Wow!! This is the best comedy I have seen in a long time. I think he earned a new/fresh brewing kit. Mike licked it
You should sell it, as “ mikes vintage pale ale” and say it’s aged 20 years
My kids and I watched this when they were very young about ten years ago (2013). The "It tastes kind of awful" line at 8:01 is so classic
never, ever, used expired LME, especially after 15 years after the date. again, never, ever use bakers yeast to make beer, thats for bread, to make beer, you need yeast for beer...
You can try again, just go to your local homebrew shop and buy fresh stuff, or go to mr.beers website. Try not to experiment too much right out of the gate. get your process down and then play with recipes.
I gave you a big thumps up ! You are so funny. I am still laughing !
Thanks!
Were did you go wrong ?????? Easier to say - what did you do RIGHT. - at least you sanitized before you brewed.
ALWAYS use fresh ingredients and a beer yeast. Try it again with fresh, and see how much better it is
Happy brewing
"yeah, that tastes kind of awful", this guy says! LOL I LIKE'd your video instantly after you said that! Great job.
Funny, I just bought one today at a yard sale for $5
This was hilarious! I'm so glad you posted it, I'm sure there are other people with an experimental streak that will benefit from it. And I sure appreciated a good chuckle. Glad you've gone on to experience success. Off to check out some of your other videos.
Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate the comment.
Don't be so cheap and get yourself good brewing equipment.
Hilarious! thanks for the laugh. i dont know how you kept a straight face after each sip. That’s gold Jerry, gold!
It was hard it tasted really strange. Thanks for the comment.
Hahaha so you basically did everything wrong then made a video about it too funny
So full of golden moments and quotes.
"Wow It's gross, with that said, I could kind of get used to this"
I'm sure this is exactly what ancient man said the first time they tasted wild fermented honey in water and the first time thousands of years later when they added hops.
John Doe Thanks so much for the comment. Very likely, perhaps thousands of years in the future it will be customary to pre-age LME 15 years before brewing with it.
Kudos for the effort, remember that we usually learn a lot more from our failures than our successes.
#1 Never use old shit... ever!!! You wouldn't cook with 15 year old vegetables or meat
#2 Always use fresh stuff, when in doubt, throw it out!
#3 Don't expect too much from a commercial kit unless your not picky.
#4 Read, learn, read, learn! There is much to know grasshopper!
#5 Don't be afraid to try different recipes
#6 watch out for heavy metals, wood alcohol, and shit like that.
One of the best videos I have ever seen on the Internet! I don't know when I laughed harder. The description after he opens the beer.......just perfect. Well done Mike.
Thanks you very very much friend. I really appreciate the complimentary words!
This is the funniest home brew video that I've ever seen!! Cant stop laughing after seeing this! Classic!
Thank you very much!
My son and I really enjoyed your video! Haven't laughed so hard in a while, thank you so much!
This is quite possibly the best beer review I have ever seen. Brutally honest.
I'm glad you both enjoyed it, thanks so much for the comment.
Yes I really admire people who are willing to be brutally honest and not try to cover up or 'sugar coat' their video.
I've been brewing beer for about a year now with some great successes and some horrible failures. I cannot TELL you in this comment section how much joy this video brought me. I laughed so hard at several points. Thank you for making this video, it was amazing.
I was laughing so hard I couldn't tell my wife the part about the expiration date. I had to rewind it to let her hear for herself. Funny!!
This video was classic! Loved it ... thanks for sharing your 'experience' ... had a good chuckle
Thanks for the comment. Midwest supplies is pretty great although recently they've messed up a couple big orders for me. Right now I have a homemade 15 gallon system, i only order my hops, grain and yeast online and come up with most of my own recipes based on preference.
It's amazing how he did everything wrong that you do wrong, and still made something kinda drinkable.
It was actually very drinkable once I stopped thinking of it as beer and began to regard it as some other form of fermented drink.
Thanks for the comment, it was hard to summon the courage to do this, but I'm glad I did.
"I'm not completely unfamiliar with brewing because, you know, I've read about it a lot."
That illustrates familiarity with reading, not with brewing.
For someone that negotiated 8 bucks to 6... then using bakers yeast... you get what you pay for....
Dude this is soooo funny! I love you're description of the beer. I cried laughing! Hilarious!
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you found it funny and not sad.
Man, I laughed so hard while you were explaining your recipe. Lol
And the "Hmmm... it... it tastes kind of awful" made me crack up. Hahaha
your initial reaction was GREAT!! LOL. I did learn "don't use expired ingredients" - Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the comment. Never had to go to the hospital, it was fairly non-toxic.
"Wow it's gross" and takes another sip!!! Really brave man, really brave.
@GrtGads Thanks for the comment. I'm glad I could give you a laugh. I've made multiple good brews since this failed first attempt.
LOL! This brought tears to my eyes from laughing! Thanks for posting this!
"Hmmmmm... Yea that tastes kinda awful..." so much respect for posting this gem bro!
+Brendan Crouse Respect back at you! Thanks for the comment bro.
Thanks so much for the comment : ) For six dollars this was a pretty fun and worthwhile experiment. I had a lot of fun playing with Mr. Beer and afterwards I knew it would be worth it to spend the money on better setup. I would have never payed 20 dollars let alone over 100 for something i might not have liked at all.
@zeeva69 I did put priming sugar in the bottles. It was actually very well cabonated, it just didn't form a head. Thanks for the comment.
My pleasure, thanks for the kind words.
Funniest video ever. I'm sitting here cracking up... "I can get used to this.... It taste like breadstick burp" too funny
Haha, thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the accolades. You are very kind to write that.
Oh my goodness, "I could get used to this" ,my eyes are watering from laughing. I noticed my 2014 Mr. Beer kit on the shelf and decided to make my third batch after two years. If nothing else you convinced me to careful read the instructions again. 👍
Thanks so much for your very kind comment. I've actually become something of a fairly avid homebrewer over the course of two years since I recorded this video. My LHBS has been a great resource, and I like to make it an objective to check out other LHBSes when I travel.
I like the true honesty you put in your description about this beer. NICE...
Great job on the video. My first try with the Mr. Beer turned out pretty much exactly the same. Thanks for the laugh this morning!
Good luck with coopers, and sorry to hear about your leak. Always remember it can be worse. Thanks so much for the very thoughtful comment.
Thanks for the comment. I wish you the best of luck on your brewing Journey.
My pleasure, thanks for all the great comments.
Oh my God - this is the funniest video I've seen on RUclips in at least a year.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
glad to see you kept going and didnt get discouraged. good luck to your zymurgy!
A hahahahah "yeah that' tastes kind of awful" hahahah I laughed so hard thank you
Ohhhh I really was laughing out loud! Love the description of the flavors!
My pleasure, thanks so much for the comment.
I think I've watched this 100 times. I'm dying! Some funny stuff. From a fellow home brewer
Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.
Loved the "hmmm...tastes kind of awful". Every one who brews has had problems with a few batches. That's how we learn.
I give you credit for trying it. That's dedication right there.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate the comment.
I have kept at it and have been doing pretty well. Thanks for the comment.
This is great! Seeing how far you've come to an all grain setup i'm envious of, only makes this video better. I was laughing out loud at some 'noobie' brewing his first beer (noobie here too) but it's wonderful to see a 15 year old Mr Beer kit create a brewer. Excellent!
Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate the kind words. Say what they might about Mr. Beer, It's an excellent gateway kit into the hobby.
Pretty sure that was just one of a number of things I did incorrectly.
"hmmmm. that tastes kind of aweful!" that was hilarious. Thanks for sharing. You should put more videos out if you are still brewing different recepies. Thanks for sharing Mike.
+Jack Torrance Thanks for the comment Jack. I do still brew but haven't made a video for quite some time. There are several home brew videos on my channel that are more recent than this. ruclips.net/video/UMvDPAKgkN0/видео.html is the last homebrew video I made. However my system has changed a bit since then. Mostly, because I use a counter-flow chiller now, back then I was dumping ice cubes directly into the wort.
agreed. and dont let this little mishap discourage you. just keep at it and youll make something you'll enjoy
I got used to it eventually, but it was hard. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the comment. I actually did google bakers yeast, and the consensus on the interwebs seemed to be that it would make alcohol fine but would impart "off flavors". I had no expectation that this would be the best beer ever, so I just went for it. If anything, the horrible crap that resulted was good for a laugh.
yes, I have a two part video after this one where I brewa fresh refill of the kit step by step. I still use the Mr. beer every once an a while but mostly I've moved on to making larger batches in carboys.
My kit came from a garage sale, where I bought it from the family member of someone who had purchased it in the mid nineteen nineties. The keg was yellow it had an airlock, and most importantly the yeast and LME had been expired for over 15 years. The newer kit is quite different from what I've read, I kept my batch covered with a towel, it mostly got ruined because of the age of ingredients I used, and supplementing dead yeast with bread yeast.
I re-made West Coast Pale ale and it turned out well with a fresh can and normal yeast, it was ok. Then I made the Witty Monk Witbier and the Belgian Dubbel, which were extremely good. Haven't made the Bewitched Red though I'm sure it's very good. Thanks for the comment.
@rustygrizwaldcfo Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked the video.
the way you carbonate it is you add some sugar to the bottle and then close it up, the yeast will break down the sugar and as long as it doesn't escape will add CO2 to your beer. After a few days put it in the fridge. My wine i made was flat as well, until i did this.
Thansk so much. I really appreciate the comment.
Thanks for the great comment. This video is almost two years old now, and I've brewed quite a lot since. I'm not quite as sophisticated as 3 tiered keggles, but I have done BIAB all grain 5 gallon batches. However, most of my regular brews now a days consist of a 7-8 gallon partial mash in a turkey fryer, followed by a lot of LME / DME, and top off water to fill a 15 gallon fermenter I made out of a PTE liquid storage drum. Part 2 of this video gives a pretty good demonstration.
It was an all around fail, but the coconut didn't help. Thanks for the comment.
"I substituted brewers yeast for bakers yeast"
"I added a cup of coconut to the boil.
AND used 6 year old ingredients.
What can POSSIBLY go wrong?
If it smells sweet it’s not ready
@Ziggybrew Your very welcome. Thanks fo much for the great comment.
OMG - my stomach hurts from laughing so hard! This is comic gold.
Thanks so much! Sorry I hurt your stomach.
Six weeks is long, but some big beers need months of conditioning before they're palatable. Thanks for the comment. I'm glad your beer ultimately ended up tasting good.
@pcfix33 Alot of yeasts can produce very unexpected flavors and aromas. The whitelabs WLP300 makes beer taste and smell like bananas. The bakers yeast I used in this brew made it taste like charcoal and bread. Thanks for the comment.
That was really funny! You're a brave man for drinking that, but I admire the adventurous spirit! When I saw your Mr. Beer I had an idea what was going to happen because I bought one with a buddy of mine in college back in 1998 I think, and it also had the air lock on top. The new ones don't come with an air lock and use a slotted lid instead. The diminished head was probably a combination of the breakdown of old ingredients and finished off by the oils in the coconut. Keep brewing, great video!
Thanks for posting this, man! I've seen how much progress you've made since, and it's endless fun to look back at this first effort (as we all do to some degree!) and be able to laugh at it!
You are a brave man for trying this, there were so many signs that that this was a bad idea.
just saw your recent comments. Sounds like your making ll grain now. Great job man. Its cool telling people your making true all grain craft beer in a Mr. Beer.
I'm rolling over here. You're cracking me up.
@CheloneMe Lol, thanks for the comment. Flavor aside I did catch a pretty decent buzz from it. I'll probably end up drinking the whole batch. I'm feeling fine as of now, so I'm pretty sure it's not toxic.
@Ryandri0d Thank you very much for the comment sir. It's a pleasure to entertain.
that my friend is the flavor of regret lmao its good to see someone humble enough to post a funny vid of it
I laughed so hard as I was watching this. I don't know what was funnier - hearing that baker's yeast and dry coconut was added, or the the comment "I think I can get used to this". Not knocking ya man, but the results are pretty consistent with all the factors in play. Thank for the vid.
"hmm...that taste kinda awful" quote of the day!!!
Wow! This is the Murphy's Law of brewing. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. 10 year old extract, baker's yeast, eyeball method of sanitation, overfermentation... I am just glad you didn't end up in the hospital.
Truly hilarious. Thanks for uploading!
@SuperMongosmash Most of my brews now get made with DME and pellet hops now. Thanks for the comment.
This video is from a couple years ago, I brewed with the kit several more times and it was fine as long as the ingredients were fresh. Eventually I pieced together my own kit from scratch and now I brew 15 gallon all grain.
