Coopers Dark Ale | May 23rd 2006 | |
add your own flavourLike all Coopers kits this produces good beer on it's own, but to get superb beer you need to add some extra zing. I added a good dose of Halletau hops and used plenty of the Morgans Specialty Liquid Malts. I also doubled the yeast rate. Brewed around 20 deg C. Resulted in a very tasty beer indeed. |

Coopers Original Lager | May 23rd 2006 | |
don't use sugarBrewed as a quick slab for a party. Used Brew Enhancer 2. Fremented at around 23 deg. Fairly ordinary head retention, and passable flavour for commercial beer drinkers. Don't brew with sugar, may be better with liquid malts. Needs more flavour, but as a starter kit it works superbly. Ferments away in a couple of days and produces passable beer. |

Coopers India Pale Ale (IPA) | March 1st 2006 | |
sensationalMade with can of liquid malt and 250 g BE2, added Fuggles finishing hops. Brewed at 18 deg C for 7 days. Resulted in a truly sensational beer. My well travelkled friend is now blown away by quality of home brews, better than James Squires by a long way. |

Coopers Australian Pale Ale | November 8th 2005 | |
mixed adjunctsI have brewed this kit with all manner of additions, Coopers Enhancers, liquid malts, dry malts. My best result came from using 50% Brew Enhancer One and 50% Light Dry Malt. Kept temperature between 18 and 20 deg C for a whole week during May in cool ensuite. Now my wife wants her shower recess back. The Coopers Light Liquid Malt variety was also pretty good drinking. |
