The Coopers 30lt Micro-Brew Kit's blurb states "Everything needed (except a can-opener) to brew beer is available in a box that fits easily into the kitchen cupboard."
So far so good as I the only piece of homebrewing equipment I have is that can-opener.
Opening the well-packed box I realise that this package really does include everything (except the can-opener).
Photo borrowed from the Coopers website. But think of the free advertising Mr Cooper!
Here's the box contents list:
- A 30ltr plastic fermenter, lid and rubber 'O' ring with tap, washer and sediment reducer
- Bubbler airlock & rubber grommet (I've always wanted my own grommet)
- Little bottler, bottling valve & tube
- Bag of Brewing Sugar
- Bag of Carbonation Drops
- An adhesive digital thermometer
- An instructional DVD
- A hydrometer
- 30 740ml plastic bottles (PET) & caps
- A plastic spoon
- A 1.7kg can of Coopers Lager Home Brew
- No can-opener
I pop the DVD into the DVD player (usually the best place for them) and watch Bruce and Sheila demonstrate how easy it all is. I must admit that it does all seems pretty straight-forward. It better be, Bruce, 'cos I know where you live. (Australia I'm guessing.)
I'm not going into any more detail about the kit now as I've just found a better site here done by Coopers themselves that does it better than I could anyway. That's quite enough of me advertising the Coopers gear. You owe me big time for this Mr Cooper!
So, all I have to do now is find a space somewhere around the house and get it all going. It's quite exciting really. Yes, I know, I do need to get out more.
My final thought is "how many people have bought this, followed all the instructions and preparations to then realise that they actually didn't have that very necessary, and by now quite infamous, can-opener?"OK. Probably none. Fine.
