I bought a Coopers DIY Beer kit and the hydrometer, spoon and bottling tube were missing. You know what I did about it? I contacted them and they sent me the missing parts, and then I made some pretty good beer.
In fact, I thought the coopers kit was so good I bought another one when it was on special.
Don't blame products or ther people for your own short comings and neuroses.
Also pretty sure that craig does make this product he just likes it. Like fuck your stupid if you buy something broken take it back! If your fridge didn't work when you bought it would you go on youtube and blame someone who likes it? I think you would likely go back to the store you bought it from.
You're... blaming the beer for the green apple taste? What the fuck. It's called acetaldehyde, and it's caused by stress yeast, underpitching, or just not letting the yeast finish up their job in the fermenter. If your tasting from the fermenter then of COURSE it's going to taste like acetaldehyde...
you can ferment in the boiling kettle if you want or a anything for that matter.. the container won't prevent fermentation. it may allow oxygen in and other chemicals leeching in from the plastic causing off tastes . but will not stop fermentation.. you effed up your yeast most likely..
you rant on about the head and lacing on your beer in every video, which seems to be the most appealing thing to you in a beer and then try and blame everything but yourself for a substandard outcome. the problem is definitely a lot closer to home
I had a cooper micro brew kit and I'm happy to say the bin is still doing well. As for the bottles I dumpoed them as soon as I could. I had great pleasure collecting over 200 750ml bottles(I drank the comtents of every one) as for the kit I poured that down the drain. No tasye no body no fun no go .
I like your review, been wanting brew my own beer for a while now and I think this product would be perfect! Where could I purchase this and do you have any tips for a beginner like myself. Cheers
Jesus! You like the sound of your own voice bud. Im getting a coopers brew kit for sure now because your so full of rubbish its sad. Congrats, you just sold another brew kit for coopers. You really are a full blown tool.
The big difference however is,all you do is slate craig,whine on and on about fuck all,Your name is" Take some advice" and that just shows that you believe your own point of view to be fact when it is not.
Are you being paid to slate coopers?
Do us all a favour,grow some balls, be a man, stop whinning,lay off craigtube and come back and make some actual brewing videos when you know how to fucking brew!
if you got a defective product call the manufacturer retard!!!!!! and lay the fuck off craigtube!!!! he doesnt endores the fucking product he likes the priduct and uses it!!!!!!!!!!
Jeus christ, shut up you idiot... There is nothing wrong with the product, its you that there is a problem with. Your fucking stupid. Craig Tube has never endorsed coopers kits. He uses them but he doesn't endorse them, there's a difference. Craig Tube is a brewing genius. Get over it you ballbag!!!!!!!!!
You know what!!! You are whining like a little girl.... you received a defective kit live with it or call cooper customer support and tell them I received a defective kit and they will send you another one. I brewed 30 times in my cooper kit and it is effective as a Swiss watch so please dont let your defective kit smear the good reputation of coopers kit and crige as well.

Personally, I am glad someone has stepped up to ridicule CraigTube, who continues his barrage against the brewing arts. When CraigTube claims something is delicious, the odds are probably that it's not.
This kind of stuff happens to all of us now and then. The difference is we dont get on youtube and cry like a baby. Why is CraigTube even brought up? Do you think he travels to Australia and packs the boxs? He likes Coopers, you dont. Get over it!
Calm down buddy before you pop a blood vessel. I got the exact same kit and love it. No problems whatsoever. The delivery guy probably drove over yours a few times before you got it. i think you should get your blood pressure checked. Brewing is about having fun aswell. Craigtube may not be the most knowledgeable person about brewing but he has by far the most informative and enjoyable videos on home brewing online and is very respectful to his viewers.

Thank you very much for this video. I was actually going to purchase the coopers kit today because of Craigtube's videos. Now I will go down to the local brew shop and pay a little extra for a better kit.
Would you still recommend the coopers beer mix though? As a beginner I don't want to spend money on grain and hops and have my first batch come out bad.
Yes definatly get the Cooper's beer mix. The best IMO so far has been the Draught. Keep in mind, when buying these beer kits to LOOK UNDER THE CAN FOR THE EXPIRATION DATE. =)
If it's 4-5 months to expiration, then the yeast could be too old and fermentation might be very slow and not run smoothly.
I recommend a classic bucket kit WITHOUT the carboid. Just the bucket and tools. Fill directly into 1L Ez Cap bottles. The glass bottles hold way more fizz. The plastic bottled beer has little head.
The bucket and accessories should cost you $30 or so. The 1L Ez Cap bottles should cost $60 for 24 (that will cover an entire brew). I have compared directly back to back with plastic on the same brew and there is no comparison. The glass hold the carbonation and the plastic ones holds little. Glass you are getting a great head, plastic much less. The 1L EZ cap's also less maintenance and there so few to deal with. Huge difference trust me!
sanitizing isnt the issue your having, corn sugar has a cidery, fruity flavour. If you did your homework you would know that, there are other methods and fermentable sugars that can be used that will not give that cidery taste. Also instead of bitching about your broken product do something about it. My question is instead of relying on just the internet and craigtube instead of getting out there to your homebrew store and doing your own research you like to blame all your troubles on others
I also had a problem with my first brew using their fermenter, the fermentation was so strong all the water blew out of the airlock. the brew was completly sour. I now use a food grade plastic bucket as my primary and use the coopers as my secendary, and i have great results brewing this way. As for the plastic bottles, I love em.
u really think coppers representitives are watching this?? u have 200 views and most of those ppl think your a fucking idiot lol im sure they cuouldnt give 2 fucks about what you think
A raving lunatic. Anybody who wants to learn to brew- STAY AWAY! He had NO idea what he's talking about. He states that leaving beer in the fermenter for more than a week causes contamination, but he "sterilizes" his equipment. Don't waste your time on this crap.
Wow- this guy is a nut. He's complaining that it's been three weeks and the beer tastes bad?!? Wow. Learn to brew before you criticize a product. It'd be like me criticizing quantum physics.
What a fool. Just because this guy is an incompetent brewer wannabe he rips Coopers. I started with Coopers and made several very good beers before moving on to all grain.
Change your clothes you scrubber!, you have been wearing the same jumper and jogger bottoms for 2 weeks, you need to sanatize your self, the germs are just jumping right out of your cloths man aswell as your mouth. no wonder you rbeer is naff.
First of all buddy, don't you dare put words in my mouth. I NEVER said that my Cooper's fermenter had a leak. I mearly stated that I have had that happen and I offered you a solution. I also didn't say that broken bottles was "expected". I said "...but those Cooper's Micro Brew kits are shipped from AU to Calgary, I believe, and then to the Canadian customer. It's no wonder a few bottles got damaged along the way." Get your facts strait b4 you go on a huge flippent rant. More next...
So, are you blaming the fermemter, the can of malt extract, the spoon? What part of the kit is stopping your beer from working, when really, you can brew beer or wine in just about any container covered with saran wrap, and it will work. So, pour the shit out and try one of your other cans you have there. My neighbor bought the same kit and he just finished drinking his last beer. Calm yourself and try again. Don't put words in my mouth.
i just wathed all 3 vids, i have never used any of the coopers products but have been brewing for 4 years and most ale's should ferment around 65f-68f on the average 72-73 is pretty high. was this your first attempt at homebrewing?
Get over yourself.
