Tasting my Coopers Micro Brew

I took these brews camping and tasted one for the first time out with the crickets.

im a brit, so the best temp i seem to be getting is around 18 - 20 :/ haha

Is this ok you reckon?

[CraigTube]

@jecreg Oh that's not too bad at all. 

[CraigTube]

@CraigTube Try a heat belt if you can.

I really want to get into making my own beer. Would you say it's better to keep the brews cold when the fermentation process is happening? It's just I live in the UK and it's cold at the moment and the place the beer would go is going to be cold.

[CraigTube]

@critanime Probably not a good idea. How cold?

Just a quick one: How long did fermentation take and at what temp? The 4 days in the instructions seems a bit short. And how long did you let it sit in the bottles?

Thanks!

@dutchmichigan I go with 8 to 10 days at around 72F. Bottled for at least two weeks, but you can try it any time.

@CraigTube about 13 degree Celsius during the winter which is 55.4 degree Fahrenheit.

Thanks for the enjoyable videos. I've been researching on a kit like this - most of what I found suggested Cooper's was the way to go. Believe I'll give it a whirl! Really enjoyed your videos - Thanks
