It’s been over 2 MONTHS since I’ve purchased beer from the store.

I’m out of Coopers right about now. My Stout wont be ready until next weekend. Until then, let’s taste test some craft breweries from Ontario and compare them with my Coopers homebrew I’ve been drinking for the last couple of months.

We are going to cover everything from Sanitation, all the way to Tasting.

When it comes to getting a kit, do NOT get the Coopers kit.

Get a classic fermentation bucket.
Get 24 1L EZ Cap bottles.

Should be about the same price and provide you with much less headaches.

I decided not to wait until I have my brew bench complete, so I picked up a new kit.

when you bottle your beer and store it in the basement, the temperature might not be warm enough. This video talks about a simple heating system that will solve this problem.

How To Brew Beer At Home – pt 1 – Sanitation

Here I am brewing a Coopers Stout. I am going to document all the steps. I am using the Coopers Beer Brewing Kit.

I suggest NOT to get this brew kit.

Get a classic SINGLE bucket kit.
Then get 2 x 32oz (1L) EZ Cap glass bottles.

This will make the process 100x easier. My crazy rinsing and cleaning is because of the coopers kit and the type of plastic that the coopers kit uses.

If you have a classic fermentation bucket, then you will have a much easier time and a stronger food grade plastic that light does not pass through.

Before I try some other brands of malt extract, I wanted to do one more thing with the Cooper’s Lager using Dark Brown sugar.

Well here’s an update. Week 3 and still at 1015. Also there is an apple-off taste with the ferment unfortunately.

Also I have to address Craigtube again as I bought this kit as a direct result as him.

Coopers Draught Beer Taste Test!

This is my second batch of Homebrew beer and went much better than the first. I’m not sure if the defective Coopers Home Brew kit lid had anything to do with it.

Anyhow, the beer has mild hops and is thin in the grain flavor. It really does need some grains boiled with it.

Maybe it just needs dry malt extract instead? Not sure. Only time can tell.

I will give the beer an added point for being un-intrusive. That means that the beer isn’t too strong. I mean, it got me buzzed for sure, but it doesn’t taste like flavored beer. It sides on caution and has more of a watered down or light flavor.

I did not taste any apple in this either. It had no apple smell or flavor unlike my last batch.

Don’t let the colors of the beer in these videos fool you. The flavor does not match the color.

Over all it’s a light beer with a thin body.
