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?

How long does it take to brew a batch?

How hard is it? Do I need experience?

What temperature should I brew at?
Try to keep the brew at the lower end of the 21°C–27°C range. Some ways you can do this include storing the fermenter inside at ambient temperature, placing it in an insulated cabinet, wrapping it in a blanket, purchasing a heat belt or placing the fermenter in a tub or sink of cool water.
How do I know when fermentation is finished?
The hydrometer is a calibrated instrument used to determine the Specific Gravity of the brew. It's important to ensure that the final gravity is stable over two days prior to bottling. Signs fermentation is underway include foaming, cloudiness, and a sample drawn from the tap being fizzy.
