Did a search but didn't pull up anything.

My wife got me a Australian Coopers Beer Kit for Christmas. Drinking my first batch today. To my surprise, it's very good. I'm impressed. I believe it's the lager kit. Very lite, mild to no bitterness, slightly higher alcohol content that a domestic beer, and formed a nice thick head.

My old roomates use to make their own years ago but sometimes they really messed up. I think they were not the best sanitizers as some batches got contaminated. The kit I have is much better. It has a tap and a tube to easily fill the bottles to lessen the chances of fouling up the brew.

I made sure to sanitize everything top to bottom with bleach and latex gloves, rinse, covered my mouth as to not breath anywhere near it, and followed the directions. Perfect. I believe it made close to 7 gallons. If anyone is considering it I highly recommend this kit. I think it's around $100 but you get everything. After that, you can probably make a batch for under $25. Not a bad deal for 7 gallons of a nice beer that will hands down taste better than any domestic one bought in the store.
