Using the Mr. Beer brewing kit, how much honey and brown sugar should I add?

I'm using Canadian Draft and I'd like to add some honey and brown sugar to the mix. I want to know what would be a good, desirable amount. Thanks.

I am sure you can find here what you need.
Many honey beers have an extract to honey ratio of 6:1 or 7:1 (pounds) so anything close to his should work for you. Brown sugar can be used but when used in higher ratios it will give a cidery acrid flavor to your beer. Something to consider even if making a Belgian style ale.

I am the third person not a fan of these kits but if it works for you then enjoy the brewing.

Pojďme na pivo.
Na zdravi -Cheers

  1. Sorry to tell you but that thing does not make good beer. Plus it is not popular and you will need to ask the company for help. The only ones here that can or will answer are your own friends and people that will laugh at this machine thing. I was wrong it is Mr. Beer brewing kit. Not too cool man.

  2. Adding honey or brown sugar will really dry the batch out as both will ferment out completely.

    If you want to add something, go to a homebrew supply store and pick up some dry malt extract–if not a complete homebrewing kit. Mister Beer is a toy.
