Whenever I see a kit that demands adding sugar or one of their proprietary "beer kit enhancers" (which costs almost the same as the kit itself), the first thing I think is: No. Let's brew this short and add some dried malt extract if we need to bring up the ABV. Adding sugar is the primary...

Hi all, I was looking for a little guidance and advice for a brew I was looking to do over the weekend. I was hoping to brew a fairly good Pilsner using a Cooper’s kit with some extra bit I have purchased. In a nutshell, I have a can of Cooper’s 86days Pilsner, a brew enhancer one pack as the...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to home brewing, just finished up a Coopers European lager which I bottled on the 9th, I understand the longer you leave it the better, however I've tried a few and they are very drinkable. I used washed out Budweiser bottles with the Twist caps so when I'm sampling it's...

Hi all from a brewing newbie. Recently deciding I needed a more creative hobby, I chose home brewing. My first attempt is now being sampled. I got a basic starter kit and bottles fro home brew online and chose a Coopers Dark Ale tin to start. I chose kits because of the ease, but may extend my...
