Beer Making Kits

Hurricane Alex Rain Water Beer, finally the taste testing! Also on tap Coopers Selection Wheat Beer canned kit beer taste testing.

After getting a fresh Coopers English Bitter kit from makebeer.net and it turned out fine, but tasting it in tandem with commercially bottled Coopers revealed I simply do not like the Pride of Ringwood hops that Coopers uses, I now needed to test a Coopers kit from my local brewshop. I’d made Coopers kits purchased from my local brewshop some time ago and they turned out poorly. Ruling out the hop bittering, was it my fermentation temperatures or was I getting damaged kits (shipped or stored to hot making them go bad before their expiration date) from my local brewshop? We finally find out in this video.

The bottom line in all homebrew beer making is if you, your family & friends like it, you’ve made a successful beer. Anyone who tells you differently isn’t, uh, well, honestly, isn’t anything.

Cheers, have a homebrew!

Please take the time to give me a thumbs-up on this video, and thank you very much for watching.

This is a taste test of the Brown Sugar Lager we did a few weeks ago. I basically made a batch of home brew beer and instead of using the standard 1kg of corn sugar, I used the same amount of dark brown sugar instead. How did it turn out??
