Coopers Canadian Blonde reviewed by Mrtickel

beerman — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:25:01 +0000

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. – Rating:4/5

Coopers European Lager reviewed by the painter

I,ve
brewed this one on and off over the year
using different brew enhancers and
finishing hops. All with vareing
sucsses. Overall this is a good kit to
use as a base for both lagers/ales, but
in its true form of recomended mix it
can be a dit dull and lacking in hop
finish. It reminds me of Coopers All
Malt Lager in consertrate form for us to
do at home. Either way this is a fool
proof kit that gives you a 50-50 chance
of liking it. – Rating:3/5

Coopers Australian Bitter reviewed by George

First time I’ve made this one. Brewed
with one tin of Coopers light LME and a
dry lager yeast. I wanted to make it
simple to use as a basis for future
brews. It came out very nice, but with
little or no head retention. Might do
the next one with some specialty grains
to help oout with the head issue. Other
than that, it’s a good one!

Muntons Yorkshire Bitter reviewed by Groovy G

beerman — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:25:01 +0000

Brewed with 1 bag of ultra brew, one 12
gram bag of fuggles, one 12 gram bag of
goldings and Safale yeast with the aim
of making a Kilkenny style. One week
primary at around 20 degrees Celsius.
Very bitter from the hops after 2 weeks
in the bottle. Really started hitting
its straps after 4 weeks. It didn�t last
much longer after that so I can only
imagine how good this brew can get!
Beautiful brown colour with a hint red.
Creamy head stayed all the way down to
the bottom my pint glass, clinging to
the sides with every sip. If you like
English bitters give this one a shot,
you wont be disappointed! – Rating:5/5

As per instructions. No need for any
variations. My favourite beer. Brewed 7
days @ 24deg. Could drink straight
away.4 months on mellowing beautifully.
I don’t drink this everyday it’s for
savouring every now and again. Looking
forward to it at 1 year.

Coopers India Pale Ale (IPA) reviewed by chad

beerman — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 01:25:04 +0000

Brewed exactly to recipee instructions.
Couldn’t wait to open my first brew
today and my wife and I were both
pleasantly surprised at how well it
turned out. Maybee I figured the S.G.
incorectly cause I figured around 4% ABV
and I can tell you it seems to be much
stronger than that! Fermented at about
72 degrees. Great copper color with a
nice creamy head which laces nicely down
the entire glass. A bit more of a malty
flavor than I’m used to in a true IPA.
If I brewed it again I would probably ad
some cascade hops during the initial
boil or to second ferment. All in all a
very good first brew for the beginner
and something to work off of.

Black Rock Nut Brown Ale reviewed by Sir Piggy

beerman — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 05:25:02 +0000

Tried using this kit to make an Irish
Milk Stout (recommended by LHBS).
Combined with 1kg Choclate Malt, 500g
Dry Dark Malt Extract, 500g Dextrose,
250g Corn Starch, 250g Lactose. Used
Wheat Malt to prime in bottles and two
weeks later is better than any dark
commercial beer I’ve ever had. Has
fantastic dark flavours, moderate
caramel flavour with a hint of burnt
mocha. Head is great, slightly browned,
and quite heavy body and mouthfeel.

Black Rock Export Pilsener reviewed by Bobthebrewer

beerman — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:25:03 +0000

I made this with the standard directions
by using only dextrose except brewed
with an extra 500g (total 1.5kg) becuase
I had it left over from another brew.
The result? Well far too much of a
fruity/fruit juice type taste to it.
Not sure how to explain it beyond that.
It was overpowering to begin with and
hasn’t dissapeared as much as I was
hoping. Next to no bitterness either,
and a mouthfeel I would compare to
water, which is to the style I assume.
Quite dissapointed with it and if i was
going to brew it again (not anytime
soon) I would do a complete overhaul
with added hops/yeast/ sugars etc.
