BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
For making Coopers Wheat Beer, Ironmaster Imperial Pale Ale,
Brewmart Czech Pilsner, Brewferm Grand Cru, Muntons Export
Pilsner. Mountmellick Irish Stout or EDME Dogbolter and Red Ale:
Read entire instructions prior to start of brewing.
Always sanitize all equipment and utensils before and after use
with one step cleanser or similar product and rinse with warm
water.
Once the beer kit is selected, remove the yeast from underneath
the cap. Heat the beer kit can in a pot of boiling water for 10
minutes before opening. Dissolve contents of the can of beer kit
in a pot of hot water (approx. 1 gallon). Add 2.2 lbs (amount
may vary depending on the beer style) of dried malt extract and
stir to fully dissolve. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until dried
malt extract is fully dissolved. Pour the mixture into the 6.5
gallon fermenter and add enough cold water to make up 5 or 6 US
gallons, depending on the recipe used. While adding this water,
stir and check with a thermometer to see if warmer or colder
water is needed to achieve an optimum brewing temperature of
75°F. Any temperature between 71-85°F is suitable. However, 75°F
is the ideal fermentation temperature. Now add the brewing yeast
and stir for 30 seconds. It is important that the yeast is added
as soon as the brew is mixed. Seal the fermenter and make
airtight with the lid and airlock. (Fill the airlock half-way
with clean water before attaching.) Fermentation will start in
2-4 days and will continue for approximately 7-11 days at a
constant 72°F (The higher the temperature the shorter the
fermentation process and vice-versa.) When the Finishing
Specific Gravity is ~1.005 and/or remains steady for 2 to 3
consecutive days (or when apparent foaming recedes), your beer
is ready to bottle. Be sure fermentation has finished before
bottling. Once finished, your brew should have an SG of 1.005 or
less. This finishing gravity may be higher if your kit has been
used in a complex recipe. Unfermentable sugars will raise the
final gravity.
WARNING— Bottle your beer only when
fermentation has finished. Add only the correct amount of
priming (corn) sugar: 1/2 teaspoon to each 12 oz bottle or 5.1
oz per 6 gallons of beer, or ¾ cup (4.25 oz.) of priming sugar
per 5 gallon batch. Otherwise over-gassed bottles could explode.
Crown seal and invert bottles a few times, to dissolve priming
sugar. Label bottles and store upright in bottle case to mature
at a temperature of approximately 72° for 7-11 days for beer to
carbonate. Beer will continue to improve with further aging of 1
month at 50-55°F. The beer is now ready for your enjoyment. The
beer is best when served chilled. Uncap a bottle and pour gently
and continuously into your glass and leave any sediment behind.

COOPERS: In 1864 Thomas Cooper left
his business as a shoemaker in Adelaide, South Australia and
started the Coopers Brewery. Today the fourth generation of
Thomas’ descendents still run his namesake business, including
Managing Director Dr. Timothy Cooper and Board Chairman Mr.
Glenn Cooper. Renowned British beer and spirits critic Michael
Jackson gives the Coopers Brewery four stars and praises “their
heartiness and uncompromising honesty”. The Coopers Brewery has
been producing hobby beer making products since 1975 and is the
world-wide sales leader in homebrewing products. Hopped with
yeast & instructions. Makes 6 gallons. Three beer kit
series available here are:
Original Series Beer Kits - The
original six beer kits that started it all. The Coopers Brewery
Lager Beer Kit is the best selling beer kit in the world. Each
kit is complete, easy to use and is packaged with the Coopers
Brewery’s special strain of proprietary beer yeast that is
renowned for its consistency and fermentability.
International
Series Beer Kits - Three kits specifically designed to
appeal to regional tastes. When the Coopers Brewery introduced
the Canadian Blonde, it was the first beer kit produced by the
Coopers Brewery specifically to meet a particular area’s demand.
Its popularity resulted in its world-wide availability.
Thomas Coopers Brewmaster Series Beer Kits
- When The Coopers Brewery introduced the Brewmaster
Series in 2001, it launched a whole new dynamic in simple and
easy homebrewing. Each style of Brewmaster Series beer kit is
packaged with a stylistically appropriate yeast. This is a major
departure from the standard “one-size-fits-all” yeast found in
most beer kits. Because the flavor characteristics in brewing
yeast play a substantial role in the overall flavor of beer, the
difference you get with Brewmaster Series Beer Kits is
immediately discernable.
MUNTONS: The
Muntons Connoisseurs Range has been formulated to brew
strong beers emulating beer styles from around the world. Each
Beer kit contains 1.8kg of 100% hopped malt extract - and in
common with all Muntons beer kits, no cheap barley syrup is used
in their manufacture. With the Connoisseurs range you will be
able to experience taste sensations including Wheat Beer
modelled on the best German Weizen style beers, Bock - the
distinctive dark lager of Bavaria, Export Stout - a classic
full-bodied hoppy stout and a wide range of other style beers.
Hopped with yeast & instructions. Makes 6 gallons.
The Connoisseurs range offers the home beer-maker the chance to
make premium strength beers. Excellent value!
The Muntons Premium range was
developed for the original four kits in the early days of
English home-brewing. Hopped with yeast & instructions. Makes 6
gallons.
Formulations for this range have purposely not been changed
since they were first developed back in the early 1970's - a
tremendous heritage and a proven track record.
The Premium range has been extended to include styles of beer
from far reaches of the world. American Style Light, Canadian
Style Beer, Scottish Style Heavy Ale, Old Ale and so on.
The Premium range allows home beer makers to experience flavours
from around the world in their own homes, enjoyably and
economically.
Once again the Muntons Premium range is made entirley from 100%
hopped malt extract with no inferior or cheap adjuncts such as
barley syrup. There is one notable exception to this however -
the American Style Light Beer. To emulate the light delicate
character of this popular beer style it was necessary to include
in the kit a percentage of liquid sugar. This is the only beer
kit in the extensive Muntons ranges made from anything other
than 100% hopped malt extract.
MOUNTMELLICK: Mountmellick was a
settlement in the fifteenth century. Situated on a narrow river
called the Owenass (river of the falls) with an encampment on
its banks at Irishtown. Over looking this valley with its trees
and wild life was a small church called Kilmongan (Ivy Chapel),
which was closed by Penal Laws in 1640. To this setting the
Society of Friends (The Quakers) came in 1657 led by William
Edmundson, they saw a future for this settlement and built it
into a town. This town was to grow to eight thousand people.
With twenty-seven industries, which included Breweries,
Distillery, Woollen Mills, Cotton, Tanneries and Glass, it was a
boomtown in the late nineteenth century. MOUNTMELLICK MALT
EXTRACTS AND BEER KITS are made from the original recipe using
finest two-row barley malts, carefully processed to produce
extracts of unparalleled consistency, purity and quality.
