Coopers DIY Australian Pale Ale Home Brew Kit

Australian Pale Ale is one of the most widely brewed styles in the world, and the Coopers DIY version is the original that most others get compared to. Brewed with 2-row barley and traditional hops, it's built to be dry hopped without fighting the base recipe, so it's an easy one to make your own.

What's Included

A 1.7kg tin of hopped pale ale malt concentrate with a sachet of yeast under the lid.

What Equipment Do You Need?

This kit is ingredients-only. You'll also need a 25-litre fermentation bucket, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and bottles or a pressure barrel. Our home brew starter kits include everything in one bundle. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan.

Tips for Best Results

• Take it to the next level by dry hopping with 20g Citra and 15g Centennial after primary fermentation for a craft-quality hop aroma
• Use Brew Enhancer 2 for improved body
• Upgrade the yeast to Safale US-05 — a clean American ale yeast with very low diacetyl production. Unlike a British strain, it stays neutral and out of the way, letting the hop character shine through
• Bottle with Carbonation Drops
