How long do you keep in it the fermenter ?

I drink my decent stuff first few drinks then switch to the not so good at which point I don't really notice or care :-)

drop the fermenting temp down to 17 degree with the kit yeast for more of a kolsch style fermentation, and this will improve the outcome, keep it as a can and a kilo for your great northern drinking mates or go the toucan for more of a carlton draft style but definitely reduce the fermenting temp to 17. also steep 250g of crystal or caramalt to give it some head retention. all these actions will produce a beer on par with a run of the mill asahi mega swill with only a modesty increase in cost. throw in 50g of cascade hops 2 days before racking and you have a mountain goat!

I love your attitude, accent, and all around a kick-@ss lyfestyle my friend. I hope to hop the pond and see what life is like on your side of the globe.

👍👍🏆🏆👌👌

Did all of the above two brew and added hops and brew sugar #2 I %100 agree yes its total crap and will only buy the more expencive brands next time. Time wasted and TF i keg cause bottling this stuff would drove me to drink! Lol.

Mate... what a legend! I'm just about to have a crack at doing my first ever homebrew and came across your video. Easy to watch, no bullshit and super informative. My fave beer is actually Coopers pale Ale so here I go. Keep the videos coming brother.

what to use to sanitise?

Bout to give this a chop. When did you add the hops, mango and passionfruit?

Such a cool Aussie guy giving real reviews. My idea for poor choice would be - Bundaberg Rum. Poor choices in bound hahaha

Man this was such a cool Aussie video!

you are a bloody legend!

Probably a stupid question but im just starting out brewing. Can you do this brew and have it in the bootles or is it only for the kegs. Thanks

Glad I don't brew like that !😊

I've tried to do this kit twice now, and it failed both times. Even when fermenting at 18c. Tastes really chemically, off maybe, totally undrinkable. Down the drain both times. I've done dozens of coopers kits over the years, and none of them have ever tasted off. But this woolies brand, I swear there's something wrong with the yeast they ship with it. Feral.

Pitty the woolies brand is no longer available..

What did you use their to clean ?

The music is an unnecessary irritant

What do you use to sanitise everything?

Sorry mate, what was your mash temp and final volume? Did you do a full hour boil with a single 20 min addition or just 20 mins total?

Do you use tap water

truly Australia when I see the mess in the garage. lmao

With the water is it tap, boiled, distilled? What’s the go there

Probably would have been less sweet if you had to use dextros instead of table Sugar.

I just stumbled across this video. Like you, I notice washed (or at least US-05 pitched from an active starter), takes off a lot quicker than dry yeast. But unlike you, I normally achieve a lower finish when doing this. Usually by about 4 or 5 gravity points. Awesome video man, thank you.

Should we not be blowing Woolies trumpet? .. Its a multinational cash grabbing company, wiping out small business via "competition". Why not promote the original idea of Home brew from the Coopers family in our beautiful🇦🇺 ? May cist $5 more to brew, but a lot less foreign investors..

Just wondering do you not rinse your fermenter or other equipment after sanitizing?

2 case's for 10 bucks , that's pretty good

Oi we need new videos

Cost $10 but using slightly better ingredients may cost $17. Over 20lites thats a extra $0.25 per 750ml bottle. You tight arse. The temp is a likely reason it wasnt thst good. At 20c may have been slower and improved taste. Beer is like bread. Slow fermenting is better than racing it. Using tap hotvwater to dissolve sugar and not shaking fermenter is better

The homebrand beer kit is probably coopers and perhaps a little light but should be fine. The crystal sugar in the homebrand packet is still pure cane sugar but will take time to dissolve v a finer sugar like a brewers sugar or even castor sugar.

Nice work ! How about trying a Hard Cider? Woolies Apple juice X4, Dextrose, cider yeast?

Fuck you i Add just 300gram suger now it is like Wine not beer too sweet 🤮

I have been home brewing since 1986 and I have never looked back. I sterilize everything before I use it and I have never had any issues with off beer. When I first started brewing, I would bottle my beer in 375ml and 700 ml bottles and cap them with the capper. However, I saw the keg system in the brew shop, and it was love at first sight. I decided to buy a 23-liter keg system as soon as I could afford it, and I have never looked back 1997. I usually use a "brew jacket" to cover the fermenter and heat mat to maintain temperature at night, even during the summer (Queensland). I use dark brown or brown sugar the extra Malases adds flavor and tastes great. I find my beer brews within three to four days and then transfer the beer to my keg. Connect the CO2 gas cylinder to the keg and place it into my bar fridge and it is ready to drink 26 hours later. I enjoy the Coopers stouts, dark ale, draught and light ale beers. This is making me thirsty cheers.

2 kits I recommend you try are the colony West sarsaparilla and colony West lemonade.

Hi Jonny I am about to make very 1st ho.e brew ever. And it's woollies brew. What the dif between sugar, castar sugar and dextrose in brewing. I am about to use castar sugar.

music is too hot! turn it down so we can hear what you say!

suggestion for a video (The search for a keto beer) that is min carbs and no sugar, cheers mate love your presentation style, subbed you , cheers

FG 00 and it's too sweet huh

music is too hot! turn it down so we can hear what you say!

Hey mate just a quick question. How long did it take from the day you started to drinking? Plus, where do flys go at night? Haha.

Poor choice home brewing making woolies lager hahaha

It’s now $11.50 and 1kg sugar is $2.50 😮😮

Making me a batch as I watch this haha

Hahahahah, some years back I made a 940... Was a Homebrand Lager and 1kg Homebrand sugar. Sugar cost $1 and the lager kit $8.40, hence the 940. Beer wasn't too bad. Was a bit thin with a weak head (a bit like Joe Biden). If you had a bbq with lots of beer drinkers, nobody would know the difference....

Hmmmm... are you boiling in a plastic bucket?

How are you boiling in plastic? I don’t understand but I want to because it looks like it would simplify things.

Raw sugar and filtered water 🍻🇭🇲

Hello copper. What one is it? Copper or screw?

I'm confused on the timline: what time passed between adding the yeast and the other ingredients (i.e. mango, hops)?
