Two weeks in the fermenter. Two weeks carbonating at room temperature. Two weeks Cold Conditioning. Enjoy.
It was created because the standard Mr Beer instructions are not really geared toward producing great beer -just drinkable beer. Their recommended 1 week fermentation, 1 week carbonation and 24 hours Cold Conditioning really is not conducive to making the best beer possible. 2+2+2 to is a guideline to good beer. However, it is not set in stone.

I see there a two FAQ pages.

Both have sections about steeping grains yet the information is different.

One page (green text) says to bring water to 165°F...then steep for 30 minutes.

The other page (jkarp) says bring water to 165°F...then remove grain bag.

So...which is it?

I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. Gives me more respect for the more experienced Mr. Beer fans like Wilson. Some excellent stories.

I still don't quite understand where pulling a Wilson came from. Is it our Wilson? Didn't Dubman's original post that mentioned a Wilson come before?
