1kg dext, 500g dme, 250 multi, W34/70, 3 weeks in the bottle and it's not a bad drop

Easy drinking beer

Brewed this according to kit instructions, except I added 250g of Honey to give some extra flavour complexity. Could do with the addition of a few hops for my taste, but the kit is a great base to play around with.

Tasted fairly cidery for the first month or so, but has become progessively tastier with age. A nice refreshing, easy drinking beer for those sunny afternoons, a great one to share with friends. The honey certainly added to the aroma and flavour. Lacks the citrus notes of Corona, but the addition of lime gets it tasting pretty similar. Will brew again, but will add some citra or galaxy hops next time to make the flavour more interesting.

Great beer,

I have done at least a twenty of these kits I always add no. 2 enhancer & either 800grm Dex or 2 kg honey

or for A twist, On priming bottles use rice syrup, adds a sweet taste.

My guests have all enjoyed it even some non beer drinkers

Cervezblah to Cervezaaaah?

First batch, followed kit instructions precisely. Only fair after a week in primary and 2 months in the bottle. Passable served ice-cold with lime. It has that damn cider taste that I dislike. I am optimistic about next batch. (I bought the kit for $8 Cdn, so I could not resist.) I boiled 2 g of fresh, wild East Kent Golding hops (8 min) that I picked locally along with a teaspn or so of lime zest. I then dissolved 500g of pure honey into the hops water and let it cool off. I mixed the wort with some boiling water - per the instructions - then added the hops/honey/H2O, a cup of dextrose and then filled the tub to about 21l (instead of 23).

I was afraid the hops would overpower the cerveza's weak grain flavour and thought the honey would round things out, and add some punch along with the dextrose. It smelled great before I pitched the yeast into it and I plan to leave it two weeks in the primary and keep it coolish, below 20 for sure. 

One of my favorites

I have only made this kit once but truely is one of my favorite brews so far. I took the advice of many others and brewed this to 21L rather than 23L as per instructions. I used 500g of brewing sugar (dextrose) and 500g of light dried malt extract. I left the fermentation at 22 C for 3 weeks. I then transfered this to a secondary bucket to get rid of sediment and then I directly bottled the beer adding 2 coopers carbonation drops to each bottle (500 mL bottles). It is very much a summery beer with really nice flavours, great with a slice of lemon or lime. This batch wont last very long as its so tasty im sure I will drink it all quite quickly!

Follow my tips to get the best from this excellent kit

I've made this 5 times now and have been really pleased with the results. I would recommend brewing it a bit shorter, to 21l rather than Cooper's recommendation of 23l as I find this helps concentrate the flavours and prevents it tasting a bit 'thin'. I find best results from using 500g of brewing sugar (dextrose) and 500g of light dried malt extract (aka DME). If using the above quantities then batch prime your beer with 190g more dextrose a few hours before bottling. I've also used Young's beer finings with this kit (2 days prior to bottling) which results in a very clear, bright beer. Leave it at least a month before drinking, chilled with a wedge of lime. Very true to style and easy to brew.

Arriba México!

Coopers Mexican Cerveza         

1 x Can of Coopers Cerveza, Coopers BE2 (500g Dex, 250g LDM, 250g maltodextrin), yeast supplied, finings added day 4. Fermentation for 8 days (very hot temp around 23 – 26 deg C)

OG – 1039d  FG – 1010 ABV% – 3,8% + 0,5% = 4,3%

I wasn’t expecting much from this beer as I just followed the kit instructions and expected it to be nothing like a sol or Corona. I opened a test bottle last night it has been in the bottle conditioning for just 2 weeks so should be really green. I put it in the fridge and drank out of a beer glass which I added a half a lime to, I was blown away it was pretty lively off the pour and when it settled down it had those soft bubbles you get from a Mexican beer and it smelt and tasted every bit as a good as a bought beer. Love it, I want to try to leave them alone for another 4 weeks but not sure that’s going to happen.

2nd try,now it got fantastic!

Tried this kit for the 2nd time;first time was ok but it tasted a bit watery.But wanted to give it another try and did some changes in this second batch. Now the beer turned out to be fantastic good.I used the kits ingredients but added 25 gr.citra hops after the 2nd day of fermentation.I left it at room temperatur for 4 days and then moved it for 2 1/2 weeks to a cooler room(16 ' celsius).The first time I brewed it I had a higher fermentation temperature (25 ' celsius)and no extra hops added.This time it got a great consistency and a fantastic fruity taste thanks to the extra hops.

Excellent summer beer

I've done this kit at least 10 times. I usually use 1.4 kg of dextrose the kit yeast, polyclar and filter it. kegged and force carbonated. I haven't had a bad one yet and guest seem to like it.

Sol clone NOT Corona!
