Can I use my Mr. Beer keg to make hard apple cider from this kit??

Yes in fact the directions are for the Mr. Beer keg. I use a beer 2000 style keg which is very similar to the Mr. Beer keg. Be patient with rhe yeast it is fragile and unlike most beer recipes you do not stir it into the batch

No. I use it primarily for creating "Rasberry Vodka" summer drinks and it works GREAT !

Yes, there are brewing kits you can buy. The kits do not come with this item. This kit is a big upgrade from the Mr. Beer. Check if you have a local brewing shop to get a kit or order on line from places like extreme brewing, etc.

You can use growlers. We did a mix of bottles and growlers. We have been buying our ingredients pre packaged at Hop City &lt;www.hopcitybeer.com&gt; in Birmingham, AL. Only brewing IPAs right now. Everything you need is in the package. Not a bad way to go in the beginning. Gene

To be honest I don't know, but I don't believe so. To use this system, you buy a big can from the store and put in the machine. The can is a one time use and disposable, so I don't know how you could use with home brew.

If you mean home brewing then yes. I've had this valve along with a local welding supply CO2 bottle for a year and this valve works perfectly on my corny kegs.

I would not do this. The vessel would be capable of doing the task, but there would be problems cleaning it thoroughly afterward. Also, it heats to boiling (213F) and then gradually the temperature drops from there. If you were trying to serve this, you would have to heat your cider to boiling several hours before you wish to serve it. You will be better off heating the cider on a stove top & serving from air pots. Alternately, you can buy a simple old fashioned hot plate (prices range from $15 to $200) & a large camping coffee pot (a good enamel ware pot with a 3 to 3 1/2 quart capacity is $16 to $25) - avoid the aluminum ones they can alter the taste of the cider.

Yes, as long as the growler can be capped. No twist caps. Leave more head space before you cap it, otherwise you Co2 will pop the cap. For ingredients, just go to your local home brew store where they'll help with the ingredient kits.

This is a hme or hopped malt extract used in conjunction with the mr. Beer home brewing system. It is meant to replace the beer that comes with your kit once you have Brewed the hme that comes with the kit. You don't need to use the Mr. Beer kit however is only meant to yield 2.14 gallons

Yes. If you understand the mechanics of brewing beer then it is possible to use any beer ingredient kit.

I'm not sure if miller makes a draught keg, however any draught keg could work. The Manuel says new castle Heineken lite and possibly Guinness. As long as it fits correctly and it is a 5 liter keg it should work.

Sorry Scott, I have no idea, bought it for my Husband who brews Hard cider.

I haven't brewed this one yet to comment on the alcohol content. They give you way more bottle caps then you will need (unless you are extremely clumsy.). These kits usually yield a few bottles over 2 cases.

The connection only comes setup for a Sanke connection. However, your beer shop will have the know how to inexpensively convert the connects to fit your system. I use 2 5 gallon ball lock corny kegs and the system works great.

Don't know what you have, Nicole. Assuming you are starting from scratch you will need the "wine making hardware" which can be purchased from Amazon or at your local Wine/Beer making hobby shop. That includes 1 six gallon carboy (really need two), a hydrometer, floating thermometer, stirring paddle, six gallon fermenting bucket, corking tool, wine "trap" to perform hydrometer readings, air lock (preferably 2), 6' of clear tubing. In addition to these basics I'd recommend an auto syphon. Once completed you will need bottles which can be purchased or have someone you know at a pub to save their wine bottles for you....remove labels (recommend removing with hot water, then run cold water over the glued area and remove hardened glue with a single edge razor blade. Rinse in super hot water then sanitize before filling. This kit will make 30 bottles (750ml) or 15 of the 1.5 liter. I like to fill some of both.

If you have the rest of the kit, all the right items that you need to brew are probably in there. That being said, sanitation is KING when you are brewing. Keep it clean, or your hard work will be all for naught, and your beer will taste like sadness. Seriously! Cleanliness!!

Yes, it is. You can get a tap system like the Edgestar mini kegerator that comes with a conversion kit for non-heinekin mini kegs. Research it on the internet for more info, there are videos that show how to do it.
