    Spreets have had this deal on for the last week or so. Fairly Tempting… Just not tempting enough. Anyway, I've still got a few half-price 6 packs left over from First Choice.

      I've still got a few half-price 6 packs left over from First Choice.

      how does "left over" occur with beer?!

        I live in Moonee Ponds, I have 2 First Choice stores within 5 minutes. My brother-in-law and I hit them both up every night after work. Ended up with 50 odd 6 Packs each. Hence. Leftovers.

        • Ambiguous on 30/08/2011 - 17:24

          Hence. Houseparty.

        • altomic on 30/08/2011 - 17:42

          50 odd 6 Packs each

          respect.

          I call bullshit, BRODEN!!! I became mayor of both of the 1st choices near moonee ponds during that promotion and only went about 8 times…

          In fact I'm still mayor of the Ascot Vale one from the 30%off Cider promotion…

    So $99 for 3 slabs of beer, which you have to make, wait 2 weeks & then bottle yourself and wait another 4-6weeks?
    I certainly don't think it is "worth $201".

    BigW has kits on sale this week, for $75
    http://catalogues.bigw.com.au/portal/offerdetails/coopers_br…

    along with a $30 kit pack from your brew shop isn't much more, then it'll cost another $30 or so to continue.

    But I suppose if you want to give it a try without shelling out for a kit.

      i doubt someone who hasn't brewed their own beer will get the same results from a BigW kit compared to going somewhere with experts and professional equipment at hand…

        I disagree. The kit packs these days are pretty fool proof.
        The most important thing is make sure everything is clean & keep ya hands out of the fermenter until it stops bubbling.

        Expert brewers do full mashes.

    • kiwipride on 30/08/2011 - 16:57

      72 BOTTLES.

    Also, if you've ever been to someone's house who brews their own you'll know its a messy business. U Brew It seems pretty good (I've heard good things about it). My only issue is that you need to refridgerate a very large amount of beer or it'll go off

      lol… you're supposed to drink it…

    • [Deactivated] on 30/08/2011 - 16:13

      You don't need to refrigerate it. Alcohol is a preservative, you'll get 4-6mths at least

    • Sh0t on 30/08/2011 - 17:49

      Correct
      MUST refrigerate

      there is not enough alcohol to preserve it!
      and
      there are no preservatives or super clean filtration

      commercial beer is filtered so many times it is not funny - this impacts taste

      microbrewries like ubrew = super flavour but short shelflife

      If you love beer, worht doing at least once

        Refrigerate? I've tasted year old home brew stout that was still fine. Stored in a laundry (Cooper's kit).

        • jv on 30/08/2011 - 22:17

          Stored in a laundry

          were the dirty clothes stored in the fridge?

        • stirlo on 31/08/2011 - 03:25

          I concur, we keep our coopers kit in the laundry and have 6month old bottles that are fine… just don't tip them over and stir up the sediment in the bottom when you drink it…

        • geordie on 31/08/2011 - 07:09

          I'm with you cluster mine is in the laundry, home brewed beer improves with age if you dont refrigerate

  • Falbium on 30/08/2011 - 16:39

    When I brew 72 bottles it's 54 litres, not 25. They must mean stubbies rather than full size bottles - and not even standard 375ml stubbies, they must be 345ml. Deal sounded good for 72 bottles, but too expensive for stubbies.

    • [Deactivated] on 30/08/2011 - 17:18

      when I brew 72 bottles, it's 90lt….well actually it's 3 kegs, coz I don't have a 90lt one…..Hmmm maybe that new wheelie bin would work

  • sonicentropy on 30/08/2011 - 16:42

    its a shame my local ubrew it (Varsity Lakes) is not in on this deal..

  • MrZ on 30/08/2011 - 17:30

    Is this legal? It sounds dodgy.

    • Cluster on 30/08/2011 - 20:38

      Brewing your own beer is completely legal in Australia, as is making your own wine. You're just not allowed to distill it.

      • jv on 30/08/2011 - 22:19

        You're just not allowed to distill it.

        …or sell it…
