For a comparrison of all the beer kit options, read Selecting A Beer Starter Kit.
Now with a free upgrade option to Coopers Canadian Blonde (the best session beer in our opinion); we want your first homebrewing experience to be a sucess . . . its better business for us.
Enbracing new 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!
Comes with additional free upgrades:
- 30 litre quality Brewferm PP fermenter,
- quality Stevenson Reeves hydrometer,
- laboratory quality Stevenson Reeves glass trial jar (the slightly larger diameter minimizes surface tension effects, giving more accurate hydrometer readings), and
- large easy to read liquid crystal thermometer, full range 10 to 40 oC (required for true lagers and pilsners).
This kit allows you to brew without opening the fermenter; keeping air away from your brew. You no longer have to wash and sterilize thermometers and hydrometers every time you need to take a reading. To take a temperature reading, just read the liquid crystal thermometer. To take a hydrometer reading, just open the tap and fill the trial jar
For easy bottle filling, the kit comes with a bottle filling mechanism: just push the bottle up, and when full, lower it - the flow of beer automatically stops. No more nightmares with syphons spilling beer everywhere.
And it contains a quality Stevenson Reeves hydrometer, and and a Stevenson Reeves glass trial jar, which can be filled without opening the fermenter. Again, no messing around.
Comes with 100 grams VWP Cleaner/Sterilizer, the best. And a bubbler airlock. Its all quality component
It does not contain bottles (you should 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. Or get a capper and caps and use glass beer bottles as this will result in a better beer.

Fermenter with lid, grommet and bubbler airlock
Bottle filling system
Stevenson Reeves hydrometer

Plastic Stirring Paddle
Large Liquid Crystal Thermometer (easy to read, 10 oC to 40 oC)

Coopers Original Lager / Canadian Blonde 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).
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.
