Once you actually wait for that first good batch, you'll learn to wait.

Wren, do you use just the mr beer mixes, or do you use part grain, part extract ingredients aswell?

I don't make my own wort. It'* too time consuming and takes alot of space, which I don't have.

I buy the premium ingredients and malts. I can brew a case-sized keg in about 20 minutes. Not including sterilization.

From the premium pre-mixed ingredients, I play around with the flavor and alcohol content with other sugars, honey, hops, etc. Different types of liquid yeast, too.
