@ajmayes1 I aim to please.

Now, I want to try the coopers sparkling ale kit.

@kwaidonjin I wouldn't mind trying it myself, but I can't get it here. I think the yeast makes the difference. The stuff that comes with the can isn't going to taste like that.

LOL. I found them hard to open Twist Off also. Your welcome buddy! Glad you liked it. IMO when you try it without the sediment, the citrus flavor/profile won't be there and the bitterness really comes through. Good both ways, but I prefer it cloudy. I can't wait to see what you think.

@weirdbeer I am going to use a cloth or something next time. I want to save the cap and make a fridge magnet out of it.

@PeiHomeBrewer, I will have to give it try. Keep fermenting! I'm heading for the basement soon to get an Irish Stout going...

Nice! I'll have to see if I can find them in my neck of the woods. I've tried the Cooper's stout from the store before, but didn't like it too much. Didn't seem quite right to me--at least, what I look for in a stout. This though looks very good!!

@bigmig54 I reuse twist offs all the time, never had a problem with them. I have to use my hand capper though. The bench capper is a bitch with them.

Today I asked at my brewshop where they might have Coopers around here. He gave me directions. It was a 30 mile drive from my house. Yes, they had 3 varieties, so I got 'em. I found Sparkling Ale extremely bitter and "funny-tasting" to me, not pleasant at all (with and without sediment, although the sediment did cut the bitter a bit). But the Pale Ale,marvelous, love it! Light citris nose, honey malt, softly bittered, cascade hops maybe(?), super!! I'm saving the ExtraStout for another day.

I love that you like it. I also love your shirt, GO LEAFS GO!

Hey PEI love your videos been watching a long time. I have brewed Coopers kits like you wouldn't believe true. I brew 10 kits on a good month, I have had all the flavours everybody has been chatting about. I have had off flavours and I have had beer that is just really good from the kits. Everyone with a half a mind knows in our world today if you buy anything in a can its.. AS IS esp from the other side of the earth!!!! My deal is whats up with the COOPERS HAT ??? are you corporate now??
