Very good instructions. Quick tip on calculating the Alcohol % without charts. 1042-1009=33x0.131 =4.3+0.5=4.8%. (basically the difference of readings x0.131,then add on your 0.5) Cheers
Great vid as usual my friend. Nice to see you sampling a different yeast. Now you’ve got onto that road you’ll never look back. Now you need to do a Coopers Bitter with 1469! I was very sorry to hear of your friend’s passing mate….may his memory be a blessing to his family and you. 🙏🏻 Keep up the great work mate!
Thanks Neil, it was a very difficult time for everyone, but I felt it was time to honour Sam after Phil revealed to me about his beer tasting so good! The next alcoholic video is very different and should be ready to upload some time at the end of June or early July! Just before our annual brew tasting LiveChat!!!
Looking forward to the live chat, hopefully it will fit in for me. I’d love to send you some samples but it would probably cost me the price of a small brewery!😂😂
Hi there, Thank you, It was great to receive your message. You may already know, but Coopers also make a Canadian Blonde beer if you are into that? Here is a link to a video I made recently, which, like the Lager is very easy to make! 🍻 th-cam.com/video/EQth0Xo8cgI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, Jon! The outer diameter is 27 mm, and the inner diameter is 15 mm. Depending on where you are, I bought it from Bunnings Hardware! www.bunnings.com.au/oates-500ml-trigger-spray-bottle_p0123223 I hope this helps. Cheers 🍻
Hi David, For sure, I did not like the taste of coppers lager at first, that is until I left it for 2 to 3 months, but for me, the longer I left it, the better it tasted. Personally, I don't like really bitter beer, but the least bitter Cooper's beers that I have tasted is their Canadian Blonde, which I recently released a video on if you are interested in watching. th-cam.com/video/EQth0Xo8cgI/w-d-xo.html P.S. we also had a live beer tasting, which you can watch as well.
A little carelessly I pitched the yeast which came with the Coopers kit (at around 30 degrees Celsius) but within an hour had cooled the 23 litres down to around 26 degrees. I'm guessing my beer will be a little fruitier than had I of pitched at the recommended 21 degrees as per the instructions?
I personally think it's okay to half it and make 11.5 litres, which will give you approximately the same alcohol percentage. However, you have an extremely high chance of having a contaminate in the second batch if that makes sense?
The experts say to do both, especially when you are first learning. However, a lot of people just sanitise once they get used to the cleaning process and have no bacteria in the area where they are brewing, which I meantion in detail in all my videos! As a responsible TH-camr, I prefer to show the full process for beginners rather than they have a failed batch which is very deflating. Cheers
I can confirm that the lager that my brother Sam made was 13 years old when I drank it and tasted perfect.
Thanks, Phil, for sharing with us! I really appreciate our friendship!
Thanks, Phil, for letting Agapy share Sam's beer making. May they rest in peace.
Thanks Agapy! God rest his soul!
*Nothing beats a LAGER…*
Excellent instructions Moussa
Thanks Nugget! We will be taste testing live with this one in a couple of month! 🍻
lol got to disagree mate! Never been a fan.
@neileyre6019 😆 🤣 😂 I tried being a fan once, but I ran out of breath very quickly and gave up! 🤪
@@quantumhomeimprovements 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣 must remember that one!
Well done Moussa, nice twist with the hop and special yeast addition. Clear instructions. I always get something new out of your videos.
Thanks Joe,
This was a very hard video to make, but it's a tribute to Sam and his family, especially his brother Phil & Georgia! 🍻

Good man, thanks for sharing Len! Cheers 🍻
Thank you very much for the quick response and makes sense .
Thanks for sharing Moussa …. Heard this tragic story before, gets me every time! Great helpful clip
God bless, thanks Chris! 🙏
I’ve been privileged to taste Moussa”s home brew and can honestly say that his home brew tastes so great that I don’t enjoy commercial beers anymore
Thanks Joseph! Coppers make a huge range of great tasting beer, and if you follow just a few easy steps, you will never go wrong! Thanks Zous!
Cheers , sad story good beer . I had a 4 year old home brew tasted awesome .
Thanks, Mr Stoneyard! Your beers must taste incredible, making them from scratch! Cheers 🍻 to good friends!

So am I, and we will most probably do it Saturday morning, which will be your Friday evening! 🍻 bring it on! 😆 🤣 😂
@@quantumhomeimprovements Let’s go!
Cheers from Canada, thanks for the informative video. I’m gonna watch this again before making my first brew.

I have made a few coopers kits and find them very bitter , with leaving them for 2/3 months do you find that bitterness gets less

It's warm as you said, but it will work if you can keep the temperature low. Let me know how you go!
@@quantumhomeimprovements Will do, thanks for the reply - enjoyed your video very much.
Thank you! 🍻
Can I use half of this recipe to make 10 liters batches instead of a full 20 liters?
I personally think it's okay to half it and make 11.5 litres, which will give you approximately the same alcohol percentage. However, you have an extremely high chance of having a contaminate in the second batch if that makes sense?
Sanitise, not sterilize.
The experts say to do both, especially when you are first learning. However, a lot of people just sanitise once they get used to the cleaning process and have no bacteria in the area where they are brewing, which I meantion in detail in all my videos!
