What type of beer would you compare this too? As far as flavor is concerned.

@THEORYZ1 Home brew.. :) Commercial beer is a travesty. No joke. The taste is probably close to a craft light ale.

hi mate im australian and i bought two kits from my local kmart, the package looks the same as yours except inside the fermenter is a clear barrel with a seperate part called a filter, which you remove after 3 days of fermenting, alsoo it has no air lock, which makes it hard to determine whether or not its ready to bottle, what are your thoughts and also what do you think about the idea of fermenting the wort with a litre of sarsparella syrup?? i have one fermenting atm,

[CraigTube]

@SuperShysta Search on youtube for "coopers diy beer kit" You'll see the first video is mine.

Not sure about the sarsparella. I've never done that.

Hi Criag. Never brewed before. Bought the equipment and a kit on Ebay and just doing some research before I start brewing.Love your vids.Very informative.One question though. My kit that's coming has a fermenting bucket and a barrel yet that kit only seem to have the barrel.Do I actually need to use the fermenting bucket?

[CraigTube]

@SteveSalisbury You only really need one vessel for making beer, but if it doesn't have a "tap" than you either need a siphon tool, or a bottling bucket with a tap. Why not just brew in the bucket with the tap and bottle from there? Some people batch prime, which requires transferring the beer to a second vessel. You should call me on my Friday show and I cam explain it much better.

@fuckiraq12 You should make a video for YouTube. Oh wait, they don't allow morons :) LOL
