    ADVICE BEFORE I POUR MY BREW DOWN THE DRAIN PLEASE.

    Coopers Draught Review

    I brewed this in December using a Youngs Lager yeast and i cannot praise it highly enough. It was quick to brew and quick to clear. Had a good flavour for a brew that was still young. Will defo brew again in the winter when heat is a problem.
