Fermented at 13C for 3 weeks. Tasted at 1month. Very clean and smooth due to the low fermentation temp. Not sure if I'd muck around with this one. It will please the general public and I find it a nice change from full-bodied ales... - Rating:4/5 http://www.hbkitreviews.com/search-Coopers Heritage Lager.html Coopers calls for 500 grams light dry malt extract and 300 grams of dextrose. I opted for 3 pounds of pale LME and 600 grams of dextrose. I dry hopped with 1oz. Fuggles pellets in the secondary. Originating gravity 1043 primary fermented for 4 days racked to carboy. After 2 weeks in carboy it has yet to clear but did a gravity reading and it came in at 1002. Drank the sample and it tasted pretty good for a beer yet to be bottled. Nice and hoppy just like a pub IPA in england. Will wait a few more weeks to see if it clears take another reading and bottle. The ABV should come in around 6%. Will post again when ready.

Have never had anything other than excellent results using this kit, just replace the yeast with Safale and start experimenting. Add 1.5kg Morgans Caramalt extract, 150g crystal malt, 12g Williamette hops for my standard amber brew. - Rating:5/5 http://www.hbkitreviews.com/search-Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale.html Added 1kg 'Ultra Brew' and 12g of Saaz hops. Racked for two weeks after initial fermentation and bulk primed. Was disappointed, it felt thin and tasted bland, head retention was also poor. Improved with age (12 weeks) but still not great. Will try again in winter with lager yeast. - Rating:3/5 http://www.hbkitreviews.com/search-Morgans Golden Saaz Pilsener.html Added 500g dextrose, 1kg of Morgan's dark crystal malt, 12g Fuggles tea bag. Used kit yeast, Racked after 6 days and bulk primed with 180g of dextrose 2 weeks after that. Had first taste after 5 weeks and had an excellent dark beer, great head clung to glass all the way down. - Rating:5/5 http://www.hbkitreviews.com/search-Coopers India Pale Ale (IPA).html Not a stout person but I though I'll give it a go. Kit plus BE2 23litres. After one month flat and very bitter, burn taste. After 6 months need creamy head and mellow taste. Nice to have on a Sunday lunch time drink. Just bottled version 2 with 1.5kg can of plain malt extract. This one has a less burnt taste. Still young in the bottle. More to come. - Rating:4/5 http://www.hbkitreviews.com/search-Coopers Stout.html My first homebrew. Can of real ale plus 500gm light DME. 17 litres. First month very bitter. After 2 months good carbonation and clear in the bottle. Nice taste. After 3 months no bitter taste. May need to add some fresh hops if you want to keep it going for more than 3 months. Good beginners kit. - Rating:3/5 http://www.hbkitreviews.com/search-Coopers Real Ale.html My first toucan. Brewcraft Wheat plus a can of generic lager brand. 21 litres. OG 1.044 Bottled.
