small batch brew kit
Meet the new Coopers DIY Beer Small Batch Brew Kit, made for brewing great beer without taking over the place. It makes 10 litres, or about a carton, with less cleaning, less storage and more freedom to mix up your beer styles.
View KitFour Steps. One Great Beer.
Combine your brewing extract and enhancer in the fermenting vessel with water and stir. Sprinkle the yeast on top, to create the base of your brew known as wort, then pop the lid on top.
Position your fermenter somewhere with a steady temperature between 21-27°C and let the yeast do the work - turning sugars into alcohol. A quick hydrometer reading tells you when it’s done.
Once fermentation finishes, transfer your beer into clean, sanitised bottles. Add carbonation drops to each to naturally carbonate your beer in the bottle. Cap tightly.
Place your bottles in a cupboard, at room temperature, to carbonate for 2 weeks. Then chill, pour and enjoy. That first sip of a beer your brewed yourself is truly satisfying!

What do I need to brew my first beer?
The Coopers DIY Beer Kit includes everything — a fermenter, PET bottles, caps, carbonation drops and a Brewing Extract. All the equipment and ingredients are there ready to go. Just add water.
How long does it take to brew beer?
It takes around 15 minutes to mix the ingredients, then your brew does the rest
over the next 7 days or so. When fermentation is complete, bottling takes about 20 to 40 minutes depending on your brew size . After 2 weeks of conditioning in
the bottle, simply chill, pour and enjoy your very own handcrafted beer.
How hard is it to brew? Do I need experience?
You don’t need any experience in fact that’s what makes Coopers DIY Beer Brew Kits great for beginners. Everything comes pre-measured with clear instructions, so your first brew is as straightforward as your fiftieth. If you can follow a recipe, you can brew a beer.
What types of beer can you make at home?
Almost anything you enjoy drinking. Popular beginner styles include lagers, pale ales and mid-strength beers, plus ginger beer and apple cider. More adventurous brewers move on to fuller bodied stouts, Hazy IPAs and seasonal specials. Swapping the extract is all it takes to change the style.
Can I make a Low Carbohydrate Beer?
Yes, you can make a low carbohydrate, mid-strength beer (approx 3.5% ABV), with only 3 grams of carbs per 375ml glass, using the Coopers Ultra Crisp Brewing Extract
