- My first brew in my new Fermzilla. Coopers European Lager as a first brew was interesting to say the least I was extremely unwell when making this video I stuffed the process and did it in a different order. Still, it turned out great.

I have home brewing for 18 yrs it would be easier buying a plastic bucket sanitising melting the beer kit with the beer enhancer and mixing very well then adding cold water then adding to your Fermzilla that way you won't melt it then add the rest of the water
Great advice, Thank You!😀
Just a quick tip... add your extract to the hot wort and mix in before you add to the fermenter. Much easier. Keen to see how this one turns out for ya'.
Yeah I was half asleep on the day, was not thinking. Pierre
@@SimpleHomeBrew Things like that happen all the time and what I like about your brew videos is your so transparent and real. Its so refreshing take care.
Thinking of getting into brewing myself just to experience it and see if it actually tastes decent. I have been looking at the Cooper's brew kit for a while but never got round to buy it.
I recommend it. it's a really good hobby. Cheers Pierre😀
Great video by the way
What coopers kits do you like best I like the ipa brewed w Xtra hops I got a stout coming by mail soon can't wait to try it cheers
Hi Heath, I am a big fan of Cooper's stout. Very nice kit. I haven't made a lot Coopers kits at all so I haven't experienced the range as yet. I will probably get into more this year I think. Thanks for watching the video and thank you for your question. Cheers
Is there a tasting video on this brew?
Hi Nathan, You know! I don't think I did one. Being that I made this video a couple of years ago I vaguely remember it was the only beer that had exploded in my cupboard. I think it was not drinkable. Nothing like a good carb bomb at the start of you videos. If you are making this let me know how it goes
Cheers 👍
How do you bottle from the fermzilla without CO2?
Hi Ben, I did a video about a year ago I hope it helps. th-cam.com/video/09ADZYceJ9Q/w-d-xo.html
Awesome!
Glad you dropped by. cheers
Always a couple of good quality lol moments. Very entertaining as usual love your work. Cheers mate.
Always appreciated Thanks for taking the time. Pierre
Nice video!! You said a bug?? Did this batch tasted a bit like Covid? Joking... Getting my fermzilla in a couple days never made brew but Wine and Meads so can't wait!! 👍👍
Fortunately I made this video before Covid. The beer in fact turned out great, I really love my Fermzilla and still use it regularly. Thanks for the comment.😀
@@SimpleHomeBrew I can see you made a lot of improvements since this video... cheers and respect to you!!👍👍 I'm just getting started... I will catch up with your stuff and keep watching.. Good work your inspiring!! Thank you!!
Did you get nice beer?
Off memory I believe it turned out great. I don't believe I made a tasting videos on this one. I will be making another soon.
How did it turn out?
Off memory I believe it turned out great. I don't believe I made a tasting videos on this one. I I find it I will share the link.
Thanks guys. I have been waiting months for my Coopers kit it still as not arrived. This Coopers European lager I have ordered, the long wait to be able to drink it concerns me, Is there a beer kit that tastes a little like lager but can be drank sooner. Cheers.
Coopers is awesome and it's worth the wait. Thank you for taking the time to watch this video.
Hi. Brewing for my first time I have ordered coopers set with European larger. Very confused if I need to control the temperature or just let it be as it is. Cheers
Hi I found if you follow the guide on the Coopers label you can't stuff it up. If the label says ferment at 18-24 c. It will turn out great. With lagers it is very important to ferment at a low controlled temperature but with extracts you don't have to worry about is as they have taken that into account. Have fun. It's a great hobby
Made that a few times and it comes up good, wish i lived closer I would come review with you. My orange beer should be ready to drink now.
Thanks Ben appreciate the sentiment. Let me know how it tastes
Mate I would drink them no worries lol hahah Cheers
Thanks, I just sampled the beer after being in bottles for just eight days aging, it looks like it will be a very nice beer.
Try to stop messing around with your hair, not a very sanitary look when making your home brew . Love your vids
Thanks mate, I have learnt since this video people believe this theory so my modern video are a lot different.
@@SimpleHomeBrew sweet, sorry if I sounded rude .
All good, I appreciate the fact you have concerns, I have a lot of people saying the same thing and it gets annoying. I also have many more telling me that it's not a problem. I know that in some cases hair can be dirty and have made adaptations in my brewing routine to cater for the minority as well as the rest. I myself don't believe touching your hair is unsanitary unless the said person is unhighgenic. I feel most people should be more concerned with microscopic saliva particles landing in the brew as we speak. Thanks for the chance to rant and hope you have a great one. Pierre
Just found your channel enjoyed this video so give you a sub. Just started making brewing videos my self also. Cheers 🍺
Awesome, thank you! I hope you do well.😃
@@SimpleHomeBrew thanks pal
Your hygiene was dreadful.
I'll wager that the brew went off for that reason.
Hey buddy thanks for watching. Quick question! What makes you think it I have bad hygiene?
@@SimpleHomeBrew Well, at the beginning, for instance, you placed the stirring paddle onto the filthy floor, and then re-used it!
You didn't appear to put the lid on any container to exclude the nasty fungi that are floating in the air: all of the time.
Best practice when stirring is to crack the lid open a bit, and stir it AFTER sterilising your hand and forearm.
There is more that I observed, but those examples suffice to explain why I knew that the brew would turn sour.
Thanks for the feedback I have definitely made major progress in my beer making since this video as my experience has quadrupled since making this video. Please have a kook at my newer videos and lecture me on those as I made this video years ago. Cheers.
