Okay, I just got a Mr. Beer brewing kit for a first time brewing. I have never brewed beer before and have no idea if this kit works or not. I don't know any of the "beer technical" stuff, just thought it would be kool to make my own beer.
I made the first batch following the direction on a dvd and it seemed to start out pretty good. It has been 5 days and the fermentation doesn't seem to be going as described in the dvd. Started out pretty active but after 3 days it seemed to kind of fizzle out and isn't as active as it was.
So how do I tell if this is beer or some other stuff that doesn't even have a name?
