Just applying a bit of modern technology has made brewing beer so much easier and enjoyable! This starter kit really makes the whole process so simple and mess free. And its incredibly cost effective too!
It enables beer making without regularly opening the fermenter, thus avoiding washing and sterilizing thermometers and hydrometers etc, and it also keeps air away from your precious brew.
For easier filling of beer bottles, the fermentation bucket has a "Little Bottler" mechanism attached: just push the bottle up, and when full, lower it - the flow of beer automatically stops. No more messing with syphons and spilling beer everywhere!
And it contains a hydrometer, and trial jar which can be filled without opening the fermenter. Again, no messing around.
A liquid crystal thermometer attached to the outside of the fermenter means you can monitor the temperature, once again without opening the fermenter.
Comes with 100 grams VWP Cleaner/Sterilizer, the best!
Our goal is to enable you to make a quality beer, so that you become a repeat customer. The kit comes with a Coopers Original Lager 1.7 Kg, the most popular beer kit in the world.
The kit comes with a high quality translucent (no colouring agents in the plastic) polypropylene 33 liter fermenter (we found that the smaller 25 liter buckets overflow through the airlock during fermentation, making quite a mess and posing an infection risk). It also comes with a bubbler airlock.
It does not contain bottles (you should really invest in the new techology Coopers Ox-Bar 24 500ml PET Bottles (better than glass bottles), but ordinary clear plastic 375ml or 750ml fizzy water bottles will work and you can collect these while your brew is fermenting without incurring the cost of buying bottles. We do suggest though that you buy a capper and caps and use glass beer bottles as this will result in a better beer. Or, even better, buy the new technology Coppers Ox-Bar bottles.
Contains:
33 liter translucent fermenter with lid, grommet and bubbler airlock,
Little Bottler bottle filling system
Hydrometer and Trial jar
Plastic Stirring Paddle
Liquid Crystal Thermometer
100 grams VWP Cleaner/Sterilizer
Coopers Original Lager 1.7 Kg Home Brew Kit, includes yeast
We suggest you get a brewbelt heater (keeps the temperature at about 22 oC, required for most beer kits). We have the perfect brewbelt for less that the UK RRP (see below).
Special tip (applies to all beer and wine kits): before you add the yeast, make sure the temperature is not too high! If the temperature drops below the recommended range, fermentation simply slows down. But if it gets too high, the beer can be ruined!
For no more mess priming bottles with sugar, order Cooper's carbonation drops: just pop a tablet in and fill the bottle.
For a better quality beer we suggest you order Brewing Sugar and use it instead of ordinary sugar.
If you want to use glass beer bottles, then you will need Crown Caps Gold, Pack of 70 (Best Value) and the Twin Lever Capper (Black) (see below).
SPECIAL TIP: Use a dishwasher to wash your bottles! Its incredibly effective at cleaning them.
