The Classic Australian Homebrew, Coopers Pale Ale

Homebrewing beer is fun and easy, and everyone should have a go at is.
This beer is good for beginers, so if you would like to make the beer I made in this video, you will need to head to your local homebrew shop and get
1 1.7kg tin of Coopers pale ale
1 500g box of brew enhancer 2
The first 2 can be got from Woolies and Big w
20g (or more, maybe 50g or 100g) Amarillo hops
1 11g sachet of US05

Keep putting the content out.
Great, no BS fluff.
PS. The orange lids from brigalow make great tops for 1.2kg dog food tins after opening. No more plastic wrap and smells.

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.

Hey mate just found your channel 👍 I'm in Townsville too, those inkbirds are awesome hey. Trying my first Coopers pale ale but brewing at 17 degrees and using recultured coopers commercial yeast. Have you tried the Mangrove Jacks Craft series? I have been through most of them and they are all awesome. Am keen to see what the pale ale comes out like, chugging along nicely at the moment. Keep up the good work 👏

Hello! Have you ever tried the brown sugar lager? 1 can coopers lager malt extract and 1kg brown sugar! I suggest using dextrose as priming sugar! Let me know

[adamblundell]

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.

Nice lacing in your glass, would it be a poor choice to do a video on how you clean your glasses. Watched a few so far, but haven't been able to replicate what you have with that glass

I'll have to give dry hopping a go, have only been brewing a few months so still lots to learn. started off with the basics. I just mixed a tin of pale ale with a woolies lager and 200 grams of dexrose and it has a bit of a chemical aftertaste. I'm hoping it will be fine once bottle conditioned. I'll probably drink it regardless hahahaha

[jasonharris]

What do you use to sanitise everything?

[alleningrad]

I suppose a poor choice could be made from making the kit according to the directions compared to another of the same with better yeast, hops, malt extract, etc.

Steam rolled barley (stock feed barley) 50/50 with ale malt

Why do you make beer in a completely different way than Americans?

If you're brewing in Australia I can recommend Morgans, they make some sweet beer kits, especially their Ironbark Dark Ale is hard to get wrong, also with the yeast they use I find you have to have you beer in the bottles for just a week or so before you can drink it. With Coopers you often end up having to wait a lot longer, especially with their Lager. My favorite hops for dry hopping are Hallertau and Tettnanger (from Bavaria in Germany). Great for really light ales and lagers. Agree on the yeast you used, it's very solid, Saflager yeast is also super if you can brew in a fridge at 7-12C or so. Takes a long time but the beer turns out soooo good. Don't be surprised if you get funky smells for the first few days if you use lager yeast, is normal. Your can technique was really neat, learned a couple of things there. If it's really cold I also put my can in a bucket of hot water for half an hour before opening it, makes the whole lot more liquidy.

Hello, From Japan!
Is it legal to brew own beer at home in Australia??
It seems fun!

[prathamkamath]

Have you added sugar into beer. Moreover you should try Indian beers like Kingfisher, London pilsner and bira
