Dropped into Coles Redcliffe to see if they had any ASUS tablets and found Coles Homebrew Lager for $4.51. - (no tablets, so alcohol was the next best thing).

I just bottled my first batch of homebrew 2 weeks ago and am waiting for the secondary fermentation to complete.

Picked up my "fermenter" i.e. 25 litre water cube thing + tap, from Rays in their recent clearance for $14.

bottles came from copious amounts of hop thief and yenda.

anywho, $4.51 + $3.5(ish) for coopers brew enhancer will result in 2.5 slabs of stubbies. reasonable.

about 10 left.

    Coles HomeBrew Lager

    lol

    (sorry for removing the pic from your link…)

  • rambutann on 22/07/2015 - 12:41

    Currently brewing one of these bad boys, picked one up for around the same price at Footscray VIC.

    OG was mega low.

    Also the can recommends fermenting between 25-35 degrees lol

    • altomic on 22/07/2015 - 12:46

      Good to hear.

      Could you let me know how it turns out?

      once I source some more bottles then this coles lager will be my next batch.

    • QuickToThePointless on 22/07/2015 - 12:50

      35oC? Maybe sit on it for 10 days or so, just like mother hens do

      never follow the can instructions :)

      I think something around the 18c max, or 10-12c ideally is a much better suggestion (though not as end-user friendly)

    It's certainly not a lager if fermentation is at those temps.

    Short of brewing in the bathtub, That may be the cheapest Homebrew set up ive heard of, well done

    • Malarkey on 22/07/2015 - 13:32

      It's just the ingredients, not the actual brewing equipment.

      • QuickToThePointless on 22/07/2015 - 13:39

        $14 dollars for a FV is cheap as they come!

          My last kit (7 years ago) was a 20 litre food grade bucket with lid that I was given by a wholesale food supplier.

          @altomic: lol…thats hard to beat. I paid $40 off gumtree for a brand new kit…it came with a can and kilo so really only $20 odd for the FV, stir paddle, hydrometer etc

  • WatchNerd on 22/07/2015 - 13:17

    Leave it in the bottles for at least 3 months, it will taste better with time.

    • racerm911 on 22/07/2015 - 14:47

      Yep.. totally agree with that

    • QuickToThePointless on 22/07/2015 - 14:59

      Yep, agreed. Most are drinkable at 6 weeks. Good at 12, and best at 24 weeks imho. But i keg mostly, so usually dont last much beyond 8 weeks.

    1 can cheap Coles goo
    1kg Light malt
    250g Dextrose
    100g corn syrup

    Malt = flavour
    Dex = more alcohol
    corn syrup = good head & a bit of background sweetness.

    I normally leave mine other brews for 12weeks, but the above is very tasty after 4.

    ALso these cheap coles cans of goo are great for doing Toucans (two cans).
    e.g.
    1 can cheap Coles goo
    1 can of Coopers Pale Ale/Morgan Amber Ale/etc
    chuck in the rehydated yeast & we'll have a very full bodied beer.

    • SBOB on 22/07/2015 - 15:48

      or 5-7kg crushed grain and do it from scratch ;)

        yeah but Coles don't have grain on special & the missus banned my brewing from the kitchen years ago :-(

      Morgans is the best. Owned & made by Coopers but far superior Malts & yeast. Same grade as the Black label series from Thomas Coopers. ;-)

  • ozy on 22/07/2015 - 16:29

    Goes well with the target coopers beer kit at $10 down from $69.
    15 left in bundaberg.
    I Would post but bundy prob only has 3 ozbargainers

    • altomic on 22/07/2015 - 22:43

      Yeah, and you guys love the rum.

        I've purchased a. $1250 bottle of bundy (some rare edition crap you could only get from the distillery under certain numbers.. I've had offerrs of $6G for it but i'm waiting for a $10G offer in the future…. FYI, I only drink scotch and beer and not XXXX

        • [Deactivated] on 23/07/2015 - 09:30

          I've had offerrs of $6G for it

          Wow. Really interested to hear updates on this if/when you do sell it and how much profit you made on it. Do you get many offers? How do people know you've got it - advertise somewhere?

          @waterlogged turnip:
          When i bought it i was telling people in the office.
          They told others that i had it, and a guy who owned a liquor shop was interested in buying it for 3G, but then a guy at work had an overseas rum collector mate offer 6G.
          I thought, i'll hold onto it as its the last bottle sold from the distillery.
          Then they started selling at dan murphys etc but only limited amount.
          The ones from the distillery are valued higher because there was small bottles you could buy at the time to match. I have both but i'll hold onto it like shares.
          That and its illegal currently for me to sell it without a liquor licence (20G) so they are looking over the years for a single sell license for collectors in my situation, otherwise know your friends wisely

    this is just coopers lager in a different tin. buy a better yeast from a hb store & use instead. ☺

    • rambutann on 23/07/2015 - 07:30

      That defeats the purpose of a mega cheap brew~

      • BewareOfThe Dog on 23/07/2015 - 19:36

        It does.
        But quality is better than quantity.
        Having brewed at home for over 20 years, & being involved in the industry, I have a little bit of knowledge than most in this area. I started brewing with the idea of saving money, buying kits from the supermarkets, using sugar etc. The results were so ordinary, etc. Then I spoke to a HB store owner, received some helpful advice, & I haven't looked back since. Yeast accounts for @ 30 to 40% of the final output of the product.
        These days, I can't even drink a beer at my local RSL, because there is nothing decent, that has flavour. :-(
