Damn which coopers kits do you have? The standards ones over here would be about US$9, with LME being probably 1.5-2 times that!
Definately use LME if its cheaper than another can, using 2 cans does also means 2 times the hops but it don't mind that really.
ontarios cans make 6 gals and theyre like 18 here...but still the cheapest 2-4 is 28.50 so 36 for 2.5 cases of good beer vs just short of that for crap...do the math
Yeah at the LHBS they are ~NZ$16 to~NZ$20, but the supermarket price is usually $12. For about 3 months my local supermarket had them on special for $10 a can. Is the stuff over there importde from Australia or is there a US based Coopers?
Yeah, I have been for the last few times. Did one with a stout & dark ale that turned out very nice.
Thats the problem with imported products, you are paying for the freight as well. Budweiser here is NZ$29.99 (currently on special for NZ$22.99) for a dozen! I will have to take a picture one day and post it on here for a laugh!
