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.

REMEMBER COOPER’S STOUT TASTING SATURDAY JAN 6. VID WILL BE UP AROUND 10-11pm!

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.

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.

My Home Brew Beer in the laser etched Carlsberg Glass tasting as good as it looks..It’s a Young’s (UK) basic 1.5kg lager kit souped up to a ‘real’ pint by a bit of tweaking.!It’s a good product but lacks a little meat so I like to customise it a bit. This is what I started producing after watching Craigtube ‘home brew beer the easy way’ Thanks again Craig. I still find it amazing that you can brew this quality at home.Forget the pub you wont find this quality there ( in my country). In pubs here you have the staggering array of choice.i.e: Guinness/BUDWEISER/Carlsberg and Maybe Smithwicks Ale and Bulmers (Magners intnl)EVERYWHERE you go.
In the UK you have an amazing choice at the pub with many beers brewed locally or on the premises. There is a monopoly here in Ireland.Have friends around and have a homebrew! It’s a of a lot cheaper than the pub (about 70c a pint. In the pub: up to and beyond €4.50!) and a of alot nicer!

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.

I pretty much got this kit because of CraigTube’s video promoted Coopers products.

So here I am addressing my concerns with the Coopers Beer Kit. This Coopers home brew beer kit was bought from the makebeer.net so it’s a new, legit kit. I received basically damaged bottles and coopers products came ‘not working’ as advertised.

There are 3 other people online who are also having problems with the kit as reported by users at http://www.homebrewtalk.com Their problems are the leaking lids and lack of fermentation (which is the whole reason you are buying the product. That’s like buying a car with square wheels – it defeats the purpose of buying a car.

Also my bottles came squished and damaged. About 5 to 6 of them so I was forced to get new bottles.

This is a hobby. When you sell a hoby based product, you have to expect people are going to post reviews.

I refuse to be sent broken, shotty products that do NOT do what they claim on the package and just sit down and shut up.

Here is the Cooper’s beer kit which I do NOT recommend.

Here is an easier way to make home brew, but it tastes better than the standard kit brewing method.
