Coopers Canadian Blonde

Good tasty Beer by Mrtickel @ 30, Jul 2010
I brewed this beer a few weeks ago and brewed with 1kg of coopers brew enhancer 1. It took 2 weeks to ferment and 2 weeks in secondary fermentor then bottled and left for 3 weeks to carbonate. opened bottle after 3 weeks and it is a lovely tasting beer its nicer than coopers mexician creaves. If you are looking for something with a bit more taste than the mexician creaves then this is the stuff.

nice drop by matt @ 23, Apr 2010
Tried 2 kits (first was sensational). First one I used supplied yeast, rehydrated. Within 30 minutes pitching I thought they would stop flights overhead, there was so much volcanic activity. Took 3 days to settle down . Bottled after 9 days , opened 7 days later, nearly perfect. 500gms dextrose, 500gms maltodextrin next one used 500gms dextrose 250gms maltodextrin and 250 gms LDME. rehydrated SAFALE S-04, but not much activity first 4 hours

Nice beer. I'm new to home brewing, I've made up three kits. This was the first and the best (so far) followed the directions on the packet. Primary for 4 days @ 28c. It's been 8 weeks since I bottled it and it keeps getting better.

Nice Summer Beer by Doug @ 24, Jan 2010
Nice flavor and aroma with slight bitterness. Definitely at least as good as many mass produced beers if not better. Impressed at how easy it is to a make a good, light summer beer. Only added 100g dextrose(no malt) to keep it light and low % alcohol. Gets favorable comments like "wow, is this really home brew?". Used kit yeast at 18C for three weeks in primary pail, 23L. Took about two months aging to get really nice it was not as smooth or flavorful younger.

Crystal clear results by Paul @ 01, Dec 2009
I have made this precisely to the specs on the can + Brew Enhancer 2 and the kit yeast supplied. Have maintained constant temp of 20-22c. After four days probably jumped in a bit early with finings however this did not seem to affect it. Left for three days after this. SG was approx 1006 after 8 days. Final result is crystal clear. Have never seen a beer so clear. Used coopers drops for secondary. After 14 days I was itching to try it. A ripper...Very light and clear and goes down way to fast.

Honey Blonde by Dr.JD @ 27, Nov 2009
CCB kit + Coopers BE1 + 400g Clover Honey. Used kit yeast pitched at 26C and continued at 22C~24C. After 2 weeks in the bottle i was very impressed. Clean on the pallet with very slight honey taste and aroma. Good mouth feel and crisp hop finish. For me this is a good summer beer. Will definitely brew this again.

A little too much on the sweet side by Daniel @ 08, Oct 2009
Made up to 25 liters with 1 kg LDME, 2 cups dextrose, 10g Mt Hood (dry hopped) and Safale US-05 yeast fermented at around 20 °C. Bottled straight out of the primary fermenter. A little too sweet for my liking but seems to be a winner with the ladies. Has a nice fluffy bit of head on it. Better drunk while fresh IMO and I have had other people say this to me aswell. Will probably make this one again because my woman likes it but think I'll add some bittering hops to balance out the sweetness, possibly some Amarillo or Chinook to be consistent with a North American style beer. I may also try fermenting with Saflager S-23 to see if this makes for a better lager than it does an ale.

us style by the painter @ 15, Jul 2009
brewed using 700gms of ldm and 300gms of corn sugar plus 25gms of cascade for 20min boil then another 15gms of cascade at flameout with the dried mix in the wort of 3L. Mixed with the kit and fermented with US05 yeast at 18C for 7days keged and largered for 10days. This turned out to be a very nice beer with great hop flavor. My VB made fater-in-law could`nt stop helping himself to the tap All gone in 4 days! Give it a go!

Don't use the kit yeast ! by Gazmoid @ 03, Jul 2009
Such a safe beer. For those complaining about the bad 'homebrew' taste. Give this one one more go. Throw away the kit yeast, use a lager yeast. Keep the temperature down (11-15degC). Ideally use 1kg of light malt and 500gms corn syrup. This will give you an excelent beer with a solid head.

drinkable, but barely by Mitch @ 23, Jun 2009
Kit + 1kg of dextrose, 7 primary, 7 secondary, bottled, 20c average temp. I cant quite put my fingure on whats wrong with this beer, but the green apple taste hasnt gone away and its a month and a half bottled. Somewhat wattery, which can be attributed to the use of dextrose. I wouldn't do another.
