How long does Mr Beer take?
The fermentation is usually complete in 3 weeks for the standard Mr. Beer® recipe, which contains an HME and yeast, then 2-3 weeks for natural carbonation to be produced.

What happens if you over ferment beer?

When should I bottle my Mr Beer?
After 2-3 weeks, you will know the beer is ready to bottle and carbonate by tasting a small sample. The beer should taste like flat beer.

The simplest approach to make a higher alcohol beer is to add more sugar during fermentation. During beer’s fermentation process, yeast eats the sugar made from malted grain and then converts it into alcohol and CO2. If there is more available sugar, the yeast has more food to eat, which produces more alcohol.
Is Mr Beer any good?
The beer I made was not good. This has nothing to do with the Mr. Beer unit itself and everything to do with the crappy hopped extract and ancient dry yeast that came with the kit. Furthermore, the plastic keg that comes with it does not serve a useful function if you decide to get more serious about the hobby.
Is the Mr Beer kit worth it for a first time?
The Mr. Beer kit seems almost too simple to be true, but they have pretty good reviews on Amazon. Anyone have experience with them? I realize that you only get 2 gallons versus the usual 5-6, but beyond the obvious, are they worth it for a first time homebrewer? It seems like it would be a lot easier to clean/sanitize.
Should I Sell my Mr Beer to eBay?

Is it easier to make Mr Beer with part grain or grain?
