I haven't brewed this kit before but I heard that with the coopers kit if you substitute 500g of the dextrose with 500g of wheat dme it helps the flavour?

Was trying to improve the kit. I also have some hallerteur hops that I was thinking of adding. Think that's how you spell it :S

Please, any help? Was wanting to start it tomorrow. Kyle

Hi there. Really new to this home brewing as I've only brewed a coopers cerveza and a gallon of cider from apple juice. I have a coopers wheat beer kit and wheat DME. I also was given 500g of crushed wheat malt as an optional addition. Would this gelt the flavour etc? How much dextrose, DME...

Had my first taste of my first attempt at homebrewing just there and it was a coopers Mexican Cerveza. I left it in the primary for 3 weeks and then 3 weeks in the bottle and then it's been in the fridge for two days. When I tasted it, it seemed to have a slight watery taste to it and was...

My first brew (Mexican cerveza) had been in my fermenter now for 8 days and as my fermenter (coopers DIY kit) is see through I can see that my brew looks very cloudy an not like the beer you get in a pub that I've saw some people on YouTube making (mainly Craig from craigtube). I was wondering...

I removed it because it said that in the coopers log book, "After 3 days remove the krausen collar and replace with the lid" I was confused aswell but I just followed those instructions and hoped for the best. Yeah I was thinking about 2/3 weeks but the coopers instructions say a weeks fine...

Hi there. Just got my DIY coopers kit there and have started brewing my Mexican cerveza malt extract with coopers brew enhancer. When I was brewing it I put the extract in with the water and then mixed and then added the enhancer. I noticed that the enhancer seemed to clump up and not dissolve...
