How many pints does a Coopers kit make?

All standard Coopers DIY kits make 23 litres — approximately 40 pints of 500ml bottles, or around 46 x 500ml standard bottles. The Thomas Coopers 1.7kg range also makes 23 litres.

What sugar should I use with a Coopers kit?

Coopers recommend their own Brew Enhancers rather than plain white sugar. Brew Enhancer 2 is the best all-rounder for most Coopers kits — it produces better body, head retention, and malt character than sugar. For lager kits, Brew Enhancer 1 (Light) works well. Avoid plain household sugar if possible.

How long does a Coopers kit take to brew?

Fermentation takes approximately 7–14 days depending on temperature (ideal range: 18–24°C). After bottling, allow at least 7–14 days for conditioning before drinking. Total time from brewing to glass is usually 3–4 weeks.

What's the difference between standard Coopers DIY and Thomas Coopers Series?

The standard DIY range (Australian Pale Ale, Lager, Stout etc.) are 1.7kg kits using Coopers' classic recipes. The Thomas Coopers Series are also 1.7kg but feature more premium, historically-inspired recipes — IPA, Bootmaker Pale Ale, Hefe Wheat — with slightly more complex flavour profiles.

Do Coopers kits come with yeast?

Yes. A sachet of Coopers dried yeast is included under the lid of every kit can. It's a reliable, neutral ale yeast suitable for all the styles in the range.

Can I improve a Coopers kit to get better results?

Yes — use Brew Enhancer 2 instead of sugar, control your fermentation temperature carefully (18–22°C is ideal), leave it fermenting for a full two weeks, and condition in the bottle for at least two weeks before drinking. These four steps make a significant difference to the finished beer.
