Australia’s Original Pale Ale, from back before ‘craft beer was a thing’ 

Coopers are the pioneers of craft beer and home brewing in Australia, so it makes sense that they created the DIY beer kit for you to make this classic at home.  With balanced fruity & floral characteristics, a compact persistent head and a clean bitter finish, it’s always a crowd pleaser.

If you are looking the replicate the original Pale Ale at home we recommend brewing with:

New to brewing

This is a great beer to start with - just 3 ingredients, a simple brewing process and from 55 cents a can, it's easy on the budget.

Makes 21 litres of beer (or 56 stubbies - rolling them before drinking is recommended 😉)

Brewing Instructions

Clean your gear. Sanitise everything like your beer depends on it... because it does!

Pour 2L of boiling water into fermenter. Soften your extract can in hot water (10 mins), then empty into fermenter.

Add your fermentables (about 1kg). Stir until dissolved 

Top up to fermenter with water 23L mark. Boom! You've made wort!

Cool wort to 18-22°C. Take gravity reading.

Sprinkle yeast over wort.

Cover, add airlock, and place in dark spot (18-22°C). If adding hops, dry hop (chuck 'em in) on day 4.

After 5 days, check gravity. Take gravity readings on consecutive days. If they're identical and under 1.016, you're good to go!

Bottle or keg. Add carbonation drops or sugar when bottling. Wait 4 weeks (best at 3 months) or keg it for faster gratification.

You're officially a beer wizard! Drink & Brag.
