The Beer Kit Makeover – Homebrew Edition!

The standard beer kit? Meh. But what if we pimp it? Today, we’re taking a Coopers Original Pale Ale kit and turning it into something actually worth drinking that's easy brewing! We’ll be steeping specialty grains, doing a hop stand (with a French press for science!), and using a Coopers yeast starter to take this kit to the next level. 🔥 What We Cover in This Video: ✅ How to improve a Coopers Pale Ale homebrew kit ✅ Mashing – what’s the difference and why it matters ✅ How to do a hop stand (using a French press!) ✅ The best way to use a yeast starter that we harvested from a Commercial Beer ✅ Why we do a quick boil ✅ Fermentation and dry hopping Plus, huge thanks to Sizzle & Schnitzel for their elite distraction services during the Tupperware heist—without them, this brew might never have happened. 🐶😂 Want to brew this yourself?

All grains should be cracked, steeped in a litre of warm (40-60 degC) water for 30 minutes, strained, NO SQUEEZING THE GRAIN, grains thrown away, remaining wort simmered for 15 minutes and added to the fermenter with the rest of you kit and kilo. Do not exceed these quantities of grain. If you brew this and like it, then, increase by 50%. This is definitely an area where too much will spoil a good thing. While simmering, you can also add extra hops. Add some extra DME and a litre or two of water, 15 gms of your favourite hop and simmer for 10 minutes. Add another 15 gms of hop and simmer for 10 minutes. Add another 15 gms of hops, simmer for 2 minutes, cover with lid, turn off, chill in sink by standing in a few litres cold water, change the water to chill the saucepan, strain contents to fermenter and add your kit and kilo. Do not use high alpha hops such as Pride of Ringwood, super alpha or cluster. Boiling 15 gms of high alpha hops for 20 minutes will impart too much bitterness. Use hops such as Fuggles or goldings in ales and hallertau, tettnang or saaz in lagers. If you wish to use POR, delete the first hop addition that is boiled for 20 minutes. Adding some specialty grain and hops will really improve all kits. Do not use base grains such as pale ale, schooner, sloop, smoked, amber malt, Munich, Vienna, wheat, lager or pilsner. These need mashing at 65 deg C rather than just steeping at 40-60 degrees. If you try and steep these grains, you will only get starch which will not help your brew. Do not boil grains unless you are doing a decoction which is advanced mashing. Boiling extracts tannins which is nasty. Steep the specialty grains, strain and then boil the resulting solution.
