Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 (1kg) is a mix of dextrose, maltodextrin and Light Dry Malt that replaces sugar in home brew beer kits, giving a fuller, maltier beer. It's the enhancer we suggest for most standard ale and bitter kits.

What's in it

  • Dextrose - ferments out completely, with no cidery flavours
  • Maltodextrin - doesn't ferment, adding body, mouthfeel and head retention
  • Light Dry Malt - 100% pale malt, for extra body and malt character

Specs

  • Weight: 1kg

How to use

Use in place of the 1kg of sugar called for in your kit instructions, dissolving it with the kit before topping up.

Who it's for

Any beer style where you want a fuller, maltier flavour - pale ales, bitters, real ales and darker beers. Try it with Coopers Real Ale or Coopers English Bitter. For lagers, Brew Enhancer 1 keeps things lighter, while Brew Enhancer 3 is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Brew Enhancer 1, 2 and 3?
Brew Enhancer 1 is dextrose plus maltodextrin — good body improvement for lagers and pale ales. Brew Enhancer 2 adds Light Dry Malt on top, giving better head retention and malt character — the best all-rounder. Brew Enhancer 3 has a higher proportion of dry malt, producing the fullest body and malt flavour, ideal for ales, bitters and stouts.
Can I use Brew Enhancer 2 with any beer kit?
Yes. It works with Coopers kits and any other brand including Muntons, Woodforde's, St Peters, Better Brew, and MasterPint. It's a universal improvement over plain sugar for any malt-extract kit. See our Brew Enhancer vs Plain Sugar guide.
How much Brew Enhancer 2 should I use?
Use the full 1kg pack in place of the sugar called for in your kit instructions. Don't use less — the kit is calibrated to hit the right original gravity with a full kilo of fermentable addition.
Will Brew Enhancer 2 change the flavour of my beer?
Yes, positively. The Light Dry Malt adds genuine malt character, improves head retention, and produces a fuller, rounder mouthfeel compared to plain sugar or dextrose alone. The difference is noticeable in the finished pint.
Is Brew Enhancer 2 better than spraymalt?
Spraymalt produces slightly better results as it's 100% malt-based, but Brew Enhancer 2 is more affordable and still a major upgrade over sugar. For premium kits, consider stepping up to spraymalt.
