Win a Mr. Beer with a comment
Ryan Shamus has come up with a clever way to get more comments from his blog. He is giving away a Mr. Beer home brew all in one set up. If you are interested in brewing but haven’t made the leap into a full five gallon set up, perhaps a free Mr. Beer kit might be the way to go.
His stipulations are simple, make a pertinent comment on his blog and be the 504th commenter. Head over, give it a read and come up with something clever to type. There might be a chance 503 people have commented before you get there you could end up with the prize. I know in the homebrewing community there is a lot of disdain for Mr. Beer kits, but for someone who is not willing to put the initial investment into a full five gallon set up, it might be a good “testing the waters” unit. I can honestly say I have never tried a beer from a Mr. Beer, so I can not in good conscience make any comment on the quality of brew resulting.
I can speculate, but I won’t. 
Since I already have a few primary fermenters, a few more secondaries, four or five kegs, kegerator and all the assorted little goodies that a full blown homebrewer hobbyist might have I’ll not be buying one soon. Winning one, on the other hand, might be fun to test it out and give an honest review of the resultant beer!
If you get it, let me know how the beer is.
Cheers!
Hey!
Thanks for the link love, I really appreciate it! Also, you have an awesome blog, and I’ll be back on a regular basis! I’m getting into the homebrew hobby with a friend, so this is a great resource for us.
Take care and the comments are getting closer to that magic 504 mark, so hopefully I can crown a winner in the next few days

Hello all!
Peter from MrBeer here. I’ll provide the winner a free kit.
As to the quality of MrBeer. About 70% of all home brewers brew not from grain, but canned malt. MrBeer simply promotes the use of canned malt. The quality of our malt is as good or better than Coopers of Muntons. Its brewed for us by Lyon Nathan in New Zealand - one of the largest brewing companies in the world. We get 15 shipping containers of canned malt a year for MrBeer customers.
Sure, our kits are small at 2 gallons. Regardless of size it brews exactly the same was as the bigger rig. Try it and see.
Got a MrBeer question? Great - call us at 800-852-4263 or email our brewmaster - brewmaster@mrbeer.com.
Good Brewing!

WOW :O I’m shocked and amazed to get such an illustrious visitor to my humble blog!
I’m an extract with grain brewer, but I don’t know if I could give up my five gallon capacity! Especially not when I’m thinking about upgrading to ten gallons.
As I said above, if one was given to me I’d certainly give it an honest try and review.
Thanks for reading Peter, come back again!
