I have never used a "mr beer" kit but have not heard the most complimentary things about them and am glad you are switching a better set up. 
A sweet batch would indicate that it was not completely fermented, if at all. Poor yeast, tempurature issues could be some causes. |
My complete newb guess was that the keg lid had a pretty poor seal and caused the fermentation issues or lack thereof. It had 2 weeks in the keg and 3+ weeks in the bottle. However, when I had the lid on as I put it on the shelf for the 2 weeks to ferment, it would release air if you squeezed the sides of the keg. Obviously, a perfect seal and that doesn't happen. I just hoped for the best and that's what I ended up with.
