2. Better Brew Export Lager

Not tried either mate but the coopers kits seem to get alot good reviews on here so i'd try that one :

 

[Duncs]

it depends on how long you want to wait for it, the Coopers European takes 3 months or more to condition, the Better Brew is ready quicker, but in my opinion doesn't taste as nice.

If it were me, I'd brew the Coopers first and put it away for a few months while I was brewing and drinking the Better Brew kit.

It's always good to try something different, why not do as mentioned above and do both :party:

I've made the wheat beer a couple of times. First time added BKE and the second time just light DME. Both times the beer turned out really clear (not what I was expecting).

With the second one I added a tea made with an ounce of dried bitter orange peel and an ounce of crushed dried coriander seeds. It turned out tasting just like Hoegaarden but crystal clear.

I'm doing all-grain now but I'm always tempted to have another go at this. Would probably use two cans and add the tea again.
