Coopers DIY Lager Home Brew Kit

Coopers' standard lager, and the natural comparison point for the whole rest of the range — if you're not sure whether to go for the plain Lager or the beefier European Lager, this one's the lighter, more sessionable of the two.

What's Included

A 1.7kg tin of hopped lager 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

• Use 1kg Brewing Sugar, or upgrade to Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 for improved body
• Upgrade the yeast to Saflager W-34/70 — a true lager yeast that ferments cleaner and colder than the ale yeast included, giving a crisper, more authentic result
• Use Beer Finings for a brilliantly clear lager
• Bottle with Carbonation Drops
