Coopers 835 Bootmaker Pale Ale Homebrewing Hopped Malt Extract Thomas Brew Can

I brewed this on 22 Oct 20 and now tasting it out the bottle on 11 Dec 20. I am seriously impressed. I brewed it using bottled spring water (the cheap stuff from our well-known larger supermarkets), 1Kg Youngs brewing sugar and 500g of Munton's Light Spray Malt and it came out at 5.1% prior to priming in the 500ml bottles using 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar. It has a great body, a bit of fizz which can be adjusted for a head whilst pouring to a glass, and very little sediment left in the bottle, but always good to keep an eye on the pour to avoid this in the glass. Taste is superb and may try and add some hops next time just to polish it off, but for me this is a fantastic kit and well worth the money. I am ordering more right now!

Along with adding the Spray Malt instead of sugar, and priming the bottles with brewing sugar instead of normal sugar, this made for probably the best tasting beer I've ever had!!It went down an absolute treat, and everyone of my friends and family loved it and couldn't speak highly enough 🍻I really do recommend, and definitely use Spray Malt instead of sugar 👍Mine came with an Aussie yeast (as anticipated), but on my next batch, I'm going to use a Munich yeast, just to experiment a little more with different types of yeast.

Good flavour and produces a nice foam on pouring. Only a little deposit carried through so no trouble in needing to lose any beer from each bottle. Only thing is that no instructions given on how much sugar is needed for bottling. I used 400g for my batch which has worked well but was more guess work.

Didn't read this propertyY as was recommend by a friend , it's the American style ( sigh ) citrus and zesty has no place in my brewery . Shocking flavour , again everyone clambering to be out there and different , alcopops in another guise to get the youngsters drinking it ... As you can tell from this review doesn't float my boat !! Also I didn't realise it's from Australia . Really come on we don't need their barley and kits . Stick to British , support your home economy . Bring on Brexit

Used wheat spraymalt 1kg, 2 whole orange 🍊 chopped up and one cup of dried coriander, tasted just like blue moon 🌑

Easy to make, keeps well & it very drinkable

Super brew. Just started second lot. Highly recommended ruby beer!

My new favourite kit
