In the absence of any current specials on the Coopers range, here’s an alternative for your consideration. Muntons is a premium UK brand and I can personally vouch for the quality of their product.

This brand is not commonly stocked in home brew stores and shipping costs are an inevitable killer if you buy online.

This is an excellent price for these kits delivered. Most other stores are selling for upwards of $21.90 with additional costs for delivery. I believe the RRP of these kits is $29.95 as priced at Brewcraft, which is consistent with retail pricing overseas.

Muntons Connoisseurs Range

• Wheat Beer
Made from a careful balance of wheat and barley malt, this is a crisp refreshing, distinctive beer. To enjoy at its prime, serve chilled with a squeeze of lemon or lime.

• Export Pilsner
Originating from Bohemia. This is a full-bodied lager for the more discerning palate. At its best when served chilled.

• IPA Bitter
A light, delicately balanced beer. Originally brewed for consumption in India, it is an ideal thirst-quencher.

• Traditional Bitter
The classic English ale, well hopped with a rich malty flavour - a drink to be savoured. Best enjoyed at cellar temperature.

• Continental Lager
This is a light amber hoppy lager modelled on the full-bodied beer available across mainland Europe. Serve chilled to appreciate its rich character.

Currently Out of Stock:

• Export Stout
Strong and full of body, serve chilled to appreciate this very dark, very hoppy stout. You don't have to be a genius to enjoy this beer.

• Yorkshire Bitter
Typical of the smooth, easy-drinking beers of the Yorkshire region of North East England. Drink with care - one glass begs another.

• Pilsner
A light, refreshing, thirst-quenching beer popularised in warm climates. This is the lightest beer in the Connoisseurs range.

• Nut Brown Ale
Dark and smooth, a brown ale with a slightly 'nutty' character. To really enjoy this ale serve at cellar temperature.

• Bock Beer
A dark lager popularised in the Bavarian region of Germany. This beer has all of the character of lager with the body of a dark beer. Serve ice-cold.

  Finnishing hops, e.g. Hallertau

  FTFY

  I agree, these are a great base. I find adding malt (if you can get it) to the IPA, Bitter, Nut Brown Ale really adds to the flavour, it also adds a hint of sweetness amongst the bitterness. If you can't get it, try the Coopers Brew Enhancer 2, as its around 25% light malt.

  The other thing to try if you like a bit more of a flavour hit, is add a tin of the above and a tin of Woolies draught (~$9) & add the Munton's kit yeast (it's best to rehydrate it with ~250ml of luke warm water, a soup spoon of sugar in a litre jug, cover with plastic wrap & leave on the bench whilst you clean your kit - it will froth up).

    I only brew with malt now, I never seem to good results with dextrose or maltodextrin. Although if I want a potent brew I add a bit of dextrose to the batch…

    I've also used two Woolies lager cans, then steep a couple hop bags and Chuck them in. Makes good swill for the price…

      I like the Woolies tins to add some depth of flavour. But i also add lots if dry hops (Amarillo is still a fav).

  Thanks Jack, I was looking for something different to try instead of Coopers. Might get the Wheat Beer.

  Time to step it up people and go all-grain. Then you can make anything and everything

    Isn't that a lot more work though?

      It is more work, but you get a nicer flavours. It's like comparing eating frozen dinners vs making it from scratch, the frozen meal can still be tasty, but it is never as good as the one from scratch.

      It takes about 1/2 day to make a beer if you make it using BIAB. There is a lot of time sitting around waiting, so you can still do other stuff at home, like drink beer.

  If you're a fan of English 'real ale', look out for Munton's Premium Gold Smugglers Ale, known as the 'Unfair Advantage' at home brew comps, as it is a superb British beer. Best HB kit I've ever done.
