If my local micro brewer will fill this for me, do I just seal it and use, or do I need to add sugar?

Do not add sugar, after filling, and sealing. Drink it within a short period of time, say a day or two, unless you have a CO2 pressurization method, then it will last maybe a week to 10 days. Enjoy

If the beer is already carbonated then just fill it. If you brew it yourself and have active yeast present then you would add sugar

Our local microbreweries won't fill it. What we have been doing is filling growlers and transferring the beer after sanitizing, no need to add sugar. We are using this with a mini kegorator, with the CO2 cartridge it will last a good month, or until the beer runs out (whichever occurs first).

Put in a little water first, then coffee and add the rest of your water. You can find complete instructions in some of the most helpful Amazon product reviews. Enjoy.

I use about 1/2 tsp. root beer extract. Also use about 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract. Then some liquid stevia. Then fill the glass with ice cold, unsweetened sparkling water.

Mix the clear gel with the sugar prior to adding the liquid. It helps it to not clump as much.

When I bought the kit it did not include the sealer. From what I could find out the sealer needs to be mixed with purified water, bottled water. The amount to be used depends on how much they sent you. If it is their standard size it would be a quart, but suggest you try a pint and if it is to thick then add more water get it to a consistency of something between cream and milk.

Use half save the rest in a reusable container and you should be good as long as the container is seal

here is a tip that i have been using. just add one tabletspoon sugar to the mix, it helps with the yeast.

I usually put in 1/3 cup water. As others have stated, make sure there's enough so it seals.

Should keep it full - but can keep it less than full (enough to make what you are brewing). Problem is the "ring" of particulate matter that that forms from tap water, keep it at the top.

You might do better by putting it in a vacuum container and refrigerating it.. http://www.amazon.com/Vacu-Vin-Coffee-Saver-Starter/dp/B000XR2GMK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1396205165&sr=8-7&keywords=vacuvin

I've never used Mr. Beer. What I do know is that you just put your fermented beer into it along with some extra fermentation sugar so that it can carbonate after being sealed. Then when ready to use, you attach the CO2 cartridge so that it forces the beer into the tube for serving.

You can do it either way. We have done it both ways, and now we normally do brew it without ice and stir in the sugar while the tea is hot. We then add in additional water to blend it to taste. Its your choice!

I dont think it'd seal tight enough like a growler to keep it "fresh" as when you buy the beer. You may feel free to try it but i honestly think you'll have flat beer til you finish it!

Always clean with a light vinegar solution, never soap, and you'll be OK. That being said, I'd use separate brewers.

No. I put the sugar in the pitcher then stir it after the tea is brewed. In theory there probably is enough room in the brew chamber for at least a cup of sugar along with the tea bag but i never tried it that way.

1 cup of water to 1/4 cup of sugar.... boil water and take off the heat and add the sugar. Let it cool.

Sir, if you are brewing your own beer my suggestion is this. Do what I did, when you get your kit, promptly go to your nearest Kmart, walmart etc, and get a tub of Oxy Clean. Be sure to get the stuff without Chlorine or bleach**! As this would be dangerous. I sanitize all my equipment with this. Happy brewing! Regards, Mattasaurus
