Coopers lager Brilliant

[BeerBelly]

I have to say a big thanks for all the help from this site, it as all been of some use, especially seeing that i am the ubber noob when it comes to brewing.
Having purchased my first brew kit from 'Brew' forum recommendations :thumb: i chose the wherry beer kit as part of the package, it was 'ok', but a bugger to clear, so i then decided 'GO LAGER', what a choice i had, i decided on the ever popular Coopers australian lager kit, £9.99 Wilkos :thumb: Bargain :
Did the kit did the checks asked a few questions here for confirmation and back up :thumb: waited and waited (hard bit) and on my arrival from work today (5pm) i thought to myself, suns out i am hot - pour a cool lager from fridge, i did and here we all are, really nice flavour and a very smooth drink, very impressed. Off to wilkos for the wife tomorrow another lager me thinks...or shall i go for a lager?
:drunk:

i just brewed a couple of coopers- first the lager with beer enhancer and 500g white sugar - which took it over 5% - have tried a couple and they are great - gonna leave it a little longer though!!
Also just bottled a coopers mexican cerveza!! Really good kits - woodfordes are great too - especially if you have a keg, try the admirals reserve!!

Ive got this brewing at the moment, my first ever brew.

Its been in exactly a week, made to kit instructions, and the hydrometer reading is now about 1009ish. I would of take a reading yesturday to compare, but broke the hyrometer so had to get a new one today and do it. Do you recon this is about ready?

I suppose the best bet will be to leave it until tomorrow to see if is the same

mine came down to 1.002 - i`d give it a day or so!

are you gonna bottle or keg?

 

[Zippy]

Bottle. Im just doing it from the Coopers complete starter kit.

Ill test it again tomorrow.

 

[rickthebrew]

if it stays around the 1.006 mark for a couple of days i`d go ahead and bottle!

this lager really benifits from 4+ weeks left in the bottle - try one a week and you`ll see the improvment!!
