100%Very good starter kit from Coopers
Review by Robert on
I have two of these kits and they have everything you need to brew inside (basic equipment, a can, yeast, sugar, bottles), except some steriliser.
It comes with Coopers basic Lager can, which is an Australian Lager (so its going to taste more like an Ale). -
100%Easy to use and gives you a good start on your home brewing
Review by Anna on
The kit arrived quickly with everything included. Easy to setup and make your first brew. I now have some very good English bitter in time for the Holidays. This was a good start and I will continue with home brewing and in time move from ready kits to tweaked kits and then on to making it without kits.
-
100%Brilliant
Review by lee on
This is a great kit for a beginner like myself, everything you need to get that first brew done just add steriliser as its vital everything is clean. service from brew uk was excellent so will be buying and adding to my kit as i learn more. my mrs said its idiot proof so that will do for me :) -

Review by click on
I was very pleased to receive my Cooper's DIY Lager Kit recently. I was pleased with the delivery time and the packaging. Also I was pleased with the freshness of the package and that it was not one of those kits kept in storage for a long to time which reflects the quality of Brewuk. I have given 4 stars out of 5 stars as there seemed to be a little damage to the box with the brew enhancer. As there were no damage to the box I can only assume it was place in like that. It is a moot point but worthwhile for the packers to take care. But still very happy with the service. -
80%Aussie design
Review by oranda on
I purchased this with a coopers english bitter kit, and ordered it at lunchtime on Thursday and it was delivered at breakfast on Friday, Amazing!!
I'm impressed by the design of theCoopers brewing vessel which gradually releases CO2 without allowing air to come inside and spoil the wort. A neat and well thought out piece of equipment. Its also my first time with using the PET bottles as I used a pressure barrel in the past, with varying levels of success, and now I shan't have to have a barrel perched up on my kitchen unit, and I'll be able chill the beer in the fridge. Not a prime consideration with Bitter, but I plan to brew a pilsner/lager next. Roll on Summer!! -
100%Best way to start brewing! Just add sterilizer!
Review by Seb on
I first bought this kit in 2012 and took my first steps in making my own beer. This kit has everything you need except sterilizer. Since I purchased this from BrewUK, I have made numerous kits and extract recipes. Its a great first step and the service from BrewUK is fantastic! -
80%First time brewing and instructions were easy and clear

Ordered Wednesday evening arrived in Liverpool Friday morning!
You may want to order some sanitizer; luckily my Darling Wife has been making wine forever so I didn't need it.# hence the 4 stars.

100%Excellent
Review by Gyro on
Having made my first brew at the beginning of the year, I've gone from strength to strength. I'm now doing my own experimental beers, using Cooper's extracts. My latest has been a double chocolate vanilla milk stout. Yum!
I'm looking at buying a spare tap and line for my micro brewery as I broke the last one through overuse. Can you tell me how to buy spares please?
Love your work ;0)

100%Very Good
Review by Ben on
Provides everything you need to start brewing. I watched several Youtube videos to make sure I knew what I was getting in to and it's as simple as they all make it out to be. -
100%First home brew and much better than I expected
Review by Ephoscus on
I'd put my expectations low given this was the first brew I'd ever done, didn't expect the beer to be as good as it was - pleasantly surprised. Extra points for not needing any other equipment to get going, but can see how I can extend it. -
100%Great place to start
Review by Craig on
So, Was new to the brew stuff, And I did see Coopers all over YouTube (Go look before you buy) It's really easy to use, Everything seem's fine currently, I've spoke to the guys at Brew UK abit before buying but now I buy all my items from them, Greg on the online chat did everything he could to help me and if it was not for that I would not of brought this item, So thanks to the Brew UK team and happy brewing guys! -
100%Brilliant
Review by Jason on
This was my first home brew kit, really easy. Really clear instructions. The coopers IPA was pretty dam good too. Well worth the money. -
100%Fantastic way into the world of homebrew.
Review by PinderWeiss on
This kit comes with everything you need and is super straight forward. Once you have used the coopers ingredients then go ahead and buy an extract recipie and you have everything you need! -
100%Fantastic Starter Kit
Review by Peter on
We are using this kit to produce fantastic wine.The instruction on DVD is very helpful.We recommend this Kit. -
100%Excellent Starter Kit
Review by Scott on
I used this kit to produce my first ever batch of home brew. The instruction DVD was straightforward, breaking down the steps clearly. The preparation was easy and enjoyable. The finished brew tasted great - even those who were a bit wary of the home-brew at first tried it and commented on how good it was. Definitely recommend this kit! Off to make my second batch! -
100%Fantastic service
Review by Kevin on
I ordered the kit on Sunday and it arrived Tuesday I checked the contents and found the spoon was missing. I contacted Brew UK and they sent a replacement in time for the weekend so I could start my brew. The brew was easy to make just waiting for the fermentation to finish so I can bottle it up and enjoy it over the summer. Overall a great product and fantastic service. -
My first kit, getting on with it well
Review by Sbatch on
Brought this as my first home brew setup and I've been chuffed with it so far! Instructions are easy to follow and arnt to complicated which made the whole process really easy, especially for a beginner. The qulity of the kit is also pretty good, the plastic on the fermenter and the bottels is really durable and the collar makes cleaning a fair bit easier.
Just about to bottel up my larger kit in a few days then onto my next kit
Nicely put together well worth the price -
80%Very Good
Review by Una G on
Very Good kit lager easy to make, instruction simple. But couldn't get DVD to work. -

Review by 22booties on
i bought this kit with bottles and found it very good the bottling wand
dripped a bit at first but rotated blue valve at bottom with thumb and finger
to seat it in better and was then ok would recomend this kit if you are
thinking of brewing -
100%Too easy!
Review by Matt on
Everything was just so easy. Although it's pretty much a ready made do it yourself kit it still opens your eyes to how beer/lager is produced and is extremely easy! Now to grow my own hops! -
80%OK, but confusion over type of beer to buy
Review by Marion on
Hi - I bought this product and it arrived promptly, well packaged and everything looks good. However my son had asked for 'pale ale' and he says it is more like lager..... I am no expert, but I asked for assistance from two different people at BrewUK, got two different answers and still didn't get the right thing! Pale Ale is also known as IPA... and it isn't lager... -
100%Very Good Kit
Review by Lawrence on
Just returning to beer kit making after many years of not doing any and bought the Coopers microbrewery as it looked to contain everything I need. All I can say is it's brilliant and so easy to understand and use, I can see myself making many beers and it will pay for itself in no time at all. Highly recommended. -
100%very good
Review by vigo.bri on
Arrived on time and packed very good. Product just has described and all I expected -
100%Great kit - still use it a year on
Review by Mike G on
Got this kit for Christmas 12, it contains everything you need to get you started, and in my case to keep you going a year down the line.
The only thing I've changed are the bottles I still have the pet ones that came with the kit, but I needed more so scavenged brown glass ones, the other replacement is the tube to test the gravity sample in, it bent from the heat of the dishwasher.
Other than that I've invested in a fish tank heater and a water bath to keep the beer at a constant temperature and 11 months on have brewed circa 18 different (successful) beers.
Easy to use and a great starter kit. -
100%Everything you need to get started
Review by Victor on
This really is a great starter kit. If like me you know nothing about making beer, this kit is great. I modified the ingredients that came with the kit and opted for a better brewing sugar and better yeast. On the very least, look for a better quality yeast (safale or saflager) and you will enjoy your first beer. -
100%good product
Review by dave5590 on
Still waiting to bottle the brew but so far so good. Easy to follow instructions and everything you need included. DVD is also a good idea as it is very helpful. -
100%Brilliant
Review by Macclan on
Ordered and delivered exceptionally easily. Bought for husbands 40th, he's never home brewed before. Very hyped at the prospect. Easy instruction..... Just need patience now! -
100%Really pleased
Review by Hickdive on
I'm really pleased with the results. It is incredibly simple to do and the hardest part is waiting to sample the finished beer.
I chose the Australian Lager to start with and it is very good, comparable with, if not better than, many commercial lagers. Definitely benefits from being allowed to mature for a couple of weeks beyond the secondary fermentation.
The only problem I have now is that I will have run out of this beer before my next batch is ready! -
100%Great product
Review by Stew on
Bought the kit for my dads birthday, and its a fantastic kit all ready to get going with minimal fuss. All instructions are clear and easy to follow, and takes little time to set up.
Ordered and delivered in two days, so great service -
100%very happy!
Review by gardenman on
The kit all arrived safe and in good time. I found it was really easy to get going and have just bottled my first lot of beer. Reading the advice on the forum pages was a real help I found. So far it looks and smells great and I can, t wait for it to be ready. Personally I enjoyed the whole process of making the beer and will be using the kit again for another batch.
Overall good value for money , easy to use, and top makes to brewuk for service! -
100%Good easy to use starter kit
Review by chalky on
I bought this as a relatively cheap way to see if I could brew my own beer. I have found it very easy to set up and use. The only additional thing I would buy is some sanitizer. Otherwise you certainly have everything that you need to get you up and running. Brew UK are a good company to deal with - prompt, friendly and efficient. All of my newbie queries were dealt with in a friendly manner via the forum. Membership is a must. -
80%Easy enough to setup and start your first brew
Review by Tony on
I have only just started my first brew and found it a bit confusing the video is very basic and it would have helped if more detailed info was supplied, for example a rough estimate of the first reading after you have mixed all the ingredients, also the contradiction on how to use one ingredient, the label says swill the enhancer do not stir and the video says stir in the enhancer. Its brewing away nicely at the moment at a steady 22 degrees. -
100%brilliant for first time brewer
Review by Duncthedrunk on
First class service from the team at brew uk. New to brewing so after reading reviews on this forum decided to go with the coopers diy beer kit. Initial impressions very good. Brewed coopers mexican cerveza with bh1 supplied with kit and 250gms LDME og 1046 been in fv for 6 days now and resisted temptations to have a peek. After reading guides on this forum,thanks to all who have shared their knowledge, I have realised patience is a virtue and instructions are best ignored. Looking forward to tasting the fruits of my labour

100%Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Review by Yorkshireman on
After only previously brewing wine in gallon flagons I wanted to branch into beer and needed the full kit, well this kit has everything in it. Simple to set up, just watch the video - straight forward. The tub isn't too obtrusive that it can't be left on the worktop, the bottle filler is a neat idea and will save a lot of frustration when filling the bottles. Still in the middle of making my first batch (Mexican Cerveza) so this review is about the kit more than the brew. Even bought some flip top clear glass bottles which I will etch with personalised labels to show off the finished product.
.... and I can use the kit to make the large wine brews :) -
100%excellent product
Review by fordy on
clear easy to follow instructions, including measuring specific gravity to calculate alcohol content.
I chose the wheatbeer and so far seems to have all gone to plan. waiting for SG to level off then I can bottle.
dark chocolatey stout next........ -
100%great way to start

100%Brilliant Kit!
Review by Jacques on
I'm new to brewing and this is the first kit purchased. Although the brew is not yet complete i have to say that the setup was very simple, instructions easy enough to follow.
Excellent service from Brew UK, very fast delivery. -
100%Brill buy for beginner!!!!
Review by Bryn on
For a newbie like me this was spot on! Easy to use, simple to follow instructions and does different types of brew. All fits back in box for easy storage and the carbonation drops make priming and bottling easy for a 1st timer rather than having to make priming solution. For anyone thinking about having a go at home brew this is a good place to start! -
100%Ideal introduction to home brewing
Review by Chucksnow on
Interested in starting brewing my own beer but with no idea about getting started, I did some research and ended up buying the Coopers kit.
With nothing to compare it to, it's a little difficult to give an objective appraisal but I found all the equipment to be well made and the instructions easy to follow. For what you get I think its great value for money too and would certainly recommend the kit to anyone interested in getting into brewing at home.
I agree with a previous review that the instructions aren't absolutely comprehensive (especially regarding how long the beer should be bottled for). With this in mind, and for an absolute newbie like myself, I'd recommend joining the Brewuk forum too as you'll get good, straightforward advice, no matter how daft you think your question might be!

100%awesome kit.
Review by barry on
superb, just brewed my first batch and all I can say is ....WOW!!!!!
ps like to say thanks to brewuk for a great delivery and price thanks! -
80%Great starter kit
Review by Kenneth on
I think the kit is great: has good (plastic) bottles and bottle filler, hydrometer, and good (though somewhat unorthodox) fermenter, but the instructions aren't as good as they could be. A few things that have been recommended elsewhere, such as reactivating the yeast, initially sanitising the fermenter, keeping the krausen collar on, taking samples less frequently earlier, and making sure the sugars are well-mixed with the wort (mine settled out into the bottom :-() would help. But the equipment itself is great, and most of this information is online.
Beer-wise: I chose the Australian Lager, and if you do so note that it comes with dry ale yeast which needs higher temperatures (21-27) than normal lager brewing. You can substitute liquid lager yeast to brew at lower, more traditional lager temperatures. -
80%Great Xmas Present
Review by Lynda on
Bought this for my husband who has often thought about brewing his own beer. Order and delivery was faultless and arrived in plenty of time for Xmas. Hubby was very pleased with the kit and impressed with the website and has watched the DVD and gained lots of tips from fellow brewers. I haven't given the product 5 stars as we are currently in the process of brewing our first batch and so haven't tasted the end result, however I am hopeful that we won't be disappointed. -
100%coopers kit
Review by nigel on
the kit i got was spot on for the first time brewing it was really easy to use and straight forward would recommend to anyone that is a learner in brewing homebrew. -
80%A fantastic beginners kit
Review by Nigel on
Very impressed with the whole kit, apart from the instructions, maybe need a more thorough review of times and temperatures. I've had the Bitter ale fermenting for a week now, and I would recommend another week fermenting. I also got the brew enhancer 1, which is probably more suited to a lager. However, each to their own. This is a great way to start homebrewing, and would I recommend it to others? YES, ) -
80%Could be better for a newbie
Review by Mickexarmy on
Hi
Bough this kit and although it is quite good here are
My thoughts
1 taking constant test drops the level down below 40 pints.
2 it says bottle and enjoy. Enjoy when ??? How long after.
5 stars if those bits get updated
Overall good. -
100%Awesome
Review by Brewdog on
Love this kit.
No messing about, ready to go in 20 minutes. No faffing with airlocks, It's see through so i can look and see what magic is happening.
Hard wearing good quality product. I cannot rate this highly enough.
Only downside is an absoulutely minute drip from the tap but i do mean minute, like 2 drops a week, still two drops of beer that i should get to drink... not like am a beer monster or anything.... -
100%Great for beginners
Review by Chris on
As a complete beginner I found this kit is a great starter, has everything you need to make a decent brew. The spigot makes life easy and a box full of clean bottles take a lot of hassle out of your first brew. -
100%Great Stuff
Review by keghead on
I wish i'd seen this before I bought my other kit would have saved some money but you live and learn.
Fast delivery well packed I have not used it yet but I am on the starters grid revving up gonna do a coopers lager soon!!. -
100%First class all the way
Review by Tony on
This review is for complete service,
1St class delivery well packed and very quick
The product all look decent for the money can't say how good it is yet as I'm in the process of brewing my first batch but upto now very pleased thanks. -
80%Kit is great. The beer is average
Review by Tim D on
This is a great kit. It has everything including bottles, hydrometer, sugar, etc.
The only thing you need to add is water. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
I think the wort is the weak point. It produced a very drinkable beer at the end but I've reusedthe kit since with other worts and had better results. -
100%Easy, simple, does what it says on the tin.
Review by Marl on
A really great kit for first time brewers like myself, the only thing it does not contain is sanitiser. I contacted coopers about this and they said becuase it is an oxidising product and countries all have different rules for such items they do not include it. They do say you don't need to sanitise it the first time but I am a bit of a clean freak and bought some of my own stuff and sanitised anyway.
Anyway, i highly reccommend this kit. -
80%Four Stars
Review by chris on
I have rated this 4 stars as this is my first ever kit and got nothing to compare it with. It was a toss up between this kit and the Woodfordes and only selected this as after reading reviews this one appeared the easier of the two.
Delivery was prompt and I was impressed with the quality of the kit. I am only 6 days into the brew and could do with another FV so I could start another batch but will resist the temptation to buy more stuff until I have tasted this one.
Along with the instructions, DVD, I watched quite a few you tube videos and found this kit really simple to do. Strangely too simple if that makes sense.
Hoping that this is a success so that I can ensure production equals my consumption demand !!

100%Better than before
Review by David R on
I had the older version of this kit in Ireland (the one in the pics on this page with the screw top and airlock) and when I moved back to the UK I neglected to bring it back with me. I needed to get a new set so I saw this one again and decided to get it. The kit that arrived is very different to the older version and frankly, it's much, much better. The krausen collar thing is handy and the fact that you don't need an airlock is very clever as on more than one occasion the pressure changed inside as i was moving the old one and the liquid in the airlock was sucked back inside. Not with this kit though. :) Very impressed. Solid 5 out of 5. -
100%Great little kit
Review by Daniel on
I initially decided that I needed a new FV and after seeing the one included in this kit from other customers and YouTube videos I decided to track it down.
It appears that Cooper's only offer this FV as part of the kit, but once I had priced up the cost of buying another beer kit and the bottles that I had intended to buy the Cooper's Beer Kit became an no brainer.
The FV is a fantastic design that requires no airlock and includes a 'krausen koller' which is a bit of a god send when it comes to cleaning. The collar can slipped out once the krausen has subsided and is entirely optional.
The spigot is removable and very easy to clean and prep which is a massive bonus.
The bottles are sturdy and hard wearing and should last you a long time if you treat them well.
Overall this kit represents great value for money and should I need another FV at some point I would not hesitate to buy another. -
100%Great Kit A+
Review by Damien on
This was my first kit and I was expecting a bit of a challenge with my first ever brew. I couldn't of been more wrong, well made, easy to prepare, easy to clean, very helpful step by step DVD and come with everything you need. I was looking for a home brew kit for ages and didn't know which to buy. After watching Craig's "CraigTube" youtube video on this kit, I had to buy one.
highly recommended kit -
100%So good I just ordered a second one!
Review by Jimmy C on
After my initial foray into homebrewing, I was so impressed with this kit that when I needed some more kit I opted for another coopers starter kit.
The clear fermenter is teh winner for me, allows you to be nosey without the risk of infection!
Highly recommend this kit -
100%Fantastic little kit
Review by Paul on
Bought this as a birthday present for wife, which she was very pleased with. Delivery was fast and information/contact from brew UK has been brilliant. The instructions and DVD were easy to follow and the kit was set up and running straight away. We have since purchased further beer kits, its so easy to use there is very little effort needed. Cheers! -

60%First Home Brew Kit

Pleased with the delivery. kit arrived a few days after placing order and everthing was there. I've just finished the first stage of my Home brew. The mixture was a little warm, I added a few ice cubes to bring the temp down to 26! Hopefully it'll be OK. -

After lots of research online I stumbled on the gem of brew uk for my coopers kit. Great starter kit with everything you need to get started, I opted for this kit based on the huge amount of info online and on YouTube, this with the DVD gives you all the info you could every need to get started. Top product! -

Review by Matthew on
My wife bought me this as a birthday present I've never made home brew before, the DVD makes it really easy step by step instructions. The kit comes with everything you need and its great value. I've just finished bottling my first batch already planning my next lot. -
100%Great first time brew
Review by Mark on
Purchased the Coopers Microbrewery kit on my father's recommendation. Purchased the lager kit to go with it. Easy to get started and very clear instructions. Easy to bottle in the supplied PET bottles. Had to open the first bottle after only 10 days and all family gave it the thumbs up. Probably will improve with more time but going down very well. A good tasting lager which cleared very quickly and has good head on it. Chuffed to bits! -

Simple to make and gives a very satisfying result. Unfortunately its so good that you end up buying more and more kit to make huge amounts of beer! -

This comes with all you need for your first brew except sterilising kit. I felt it had very simple and easy to use instructions and also great having the tap and little bottler!! A must have if you want a straight forward brew system to bottle beer!! -

Review by Walter on
Well I can rate 5stars for delivery just 2 days. I have now mixed my first brew which was as easy as they said except the temperature strip didn't seem to work and had to resort to a dip in thermometer It is now fermenting and I'm hoping for the best -

Review by craven91 on
I'v always wanted to try making my own beer and i did a lot of research before i bought a kit and this kit looked the best and I just drank my first bottle of english ale and iv got to say its nicer than some real ales i have drank in pubs and can not recommend this kit highly enough. -
100%The perfect starter kit
Review by Vandero on
Bought this starter kit just over a month a go and I'm already enjoying my first batch of beer from it. As long as you follw the very simple instructions, you really can't go wrong with this. I couldn't believe how easy it is and how good the first batch of my Mexican style beer is tasting! Very highly reccomended for taste, price and simplicity. Cheers! -
100%Spent hours looking this was the best
Review by David on
They have the photo of the old kit up.
My bro spent hours looking at starter kits and bought this one. I didn't want to copy him so spent hours looking for starter kits, then bought this one. Couldn't be happier with it. It seams to be the only kit with a tap on it - which makes bottling much easier.
If your going to by extra ingredients/bottles it might be worth buying two starter kits. -
100%so far so good

A very good way to start making your lager at home.The beer tasted a little uncrisp but this id due to me not secondary fermenting a a cold enough temperature from what I gather.Join the forum and learn how to become an expert. -
100%Great Starter kit
Review by Kendo on
If you are looking to make lager at home then look no further. This is the kit for you.
The equipment is very good quality, the instructions clear and easy to follow and the beer turned out very good too although you do need a bit of patience as it takes a while to really get to its potential.
All in all 5 star and highly recommended. Just ordered 3 more kits and can't wait to try them. The only thing is I wish I had brewed more earlier as I've run out now. -

100%Excellent Kit
Review by BeerMan on
Brought this kit mainly for the Fermenter bin and the additional equipment. Was very pleasantly surprised when I opened the box, first thing I thought that everything supplied was of great quality. The best starter kit for any amateur by far! Great Value for money.
Would recommend a capper and caps if you prefer a more professional finish to beer rather than the plastic bottles supplied. An additional fermenter would be useful and sterilising powder. I've also brought some extra hops which add extra bite to the larger. Investing in some muslin bags is a great idea, they cost pennies and you can add extra ingredients easily.
For any starter I cannot stress the point enough of sterilisation to the enth degree!!! Its very boring task but when you finish waiting 6 weeks for a beer and its smells even a little bit funny you wont get the same wow factor off friends. -
100%All good
Review by Angie on
I have been meaning to make home brew lager for ages and just hadn't got round to it.
Prompted by the article in the guardian I thought I really must pull my finger out and get this underway.
I decided to go for this kit as I do really prefer lager to be honest and the woodfordes microbrewery just didn't do it for me.
This arrived promptly and was very easy to use. Made the beer 6 weeks ago now and tastes great. This hobby is addictive, lucky the bubby loves drinking too! (or maybe not! :) -

Review by Jan on
Great kit, fully loaded with relevant gadgets.Easy to make and a suprisingly good taste.Took a while to clear and I over primed a bit as it's quite fizzy.
