Coopers Heritage Lager

Good one! by George @ 17, Apr 2010
Second timne around for this kit, and I think I got it right this time. Made on 22 Jan 2010: Started with .5lb of 10L crystal;removed grains just as they came to the boil, added .5oz of Hallertau, boiled for 15 minutes, then added another .5oz of Hallertau for 5 more minutes; added Heritage Lager kit and one can of Coopers light LME. Pitched Saflager S23 when cooled, 23 litres. Racked on 17 February and kegged on 6 March. Cracked the keg this week - oh my, I am very, very pleased!

Coopers Heritage Lager + Brewer's Choice Ultra Brew (LDM+Dex+Corn Syrup Solid). Kit yeast worked nicely. 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...

For the best, hop it! by Jack - Email Reviewer @ 18, Sep 2009
Brewed this 3 times, 3 ways. fermentables per instructions. Much better with low temp fermentation - have used White labs WLP830 and Saflager W34/70 at 12 and 14C resp. Without added hop it's a bit bland, so used Hersbrucker 14g plug(s) in the latter 2 brews, steeped for aroma or boiled for bitterness; both help make this a delicious lager, probably the best of the half dozen I've tried.

I do a low carb , mid strength with enzyme and dextrose (500g) and feel this is the best lager on the market. I have tried most.

I love this one. Straight kit as per directions and you really can't go wrong. A balanced interesting lager floral and fresh. Can be modified but only for your own tastes - no need to modify really.

very easy by ian - Email Reviewer @ 20, Jan 2005
A fine drop I've made it 10-15 times. It's sweet up front with a nice bitter aftertaste. I tend to use it to try different hops . I've done P.O.R., golden cluster, cascade , Mt Hood, northern brewer, hallertau & Green bullet. The best results are P.O.R. & Hallertau but all have been very good.

Not bad for quaffing by Dory - Email Reviewer @ 16, Jan 2005
Made this kut with 1.5kg light malt and 300g dextrose to get a little extra alcohol content. Tasted this beer after two months and thought it was rubbish. I ended up leaving it for about 5 months before trying again and what a difference those extra months made. Reminded me a lot of James Boags Premium. Very drinkable!

Brewed this with 1kg of Light DME and used Wyeast Munich Lager. Fermented at 14C for 10 days then CCed for 2 weeks at 2C. One word springs to mind," Bland". I think this beer should have had some dry hopping to give it a bit of punch.

Best of this range by The Duke - Email Reviewer @ 12, Jan 2005
Best of the Thomas Cooper's range. Brewed with 500gms Dextose, 500gms LME, 200gms Maltodextrin. Nice balance between malt and hops. Goes quite well using yeast supplied. Gets close to its best by 3 months. One of my fav's!
