You’ve got to love the British weather ☀️☔️ castlemaine XXXX can you still get hold of that ? I’m not sure I’ve ever had it ? A sparkler on a hand pull is a important part of British history. Great shout out to 8 sails love the beer they produce but still not been 🥹 great update as always cheers guys 👍🍻
Great video as ever, chaps. Interesting looking new extract kit out now from Mangrove Jacks - Black Forest Stout. Maybe worth a review as we get nearer to Christmas?
Did the Coopers Euro as one of my very first brews when I restarted in 2019. Very Stella-like. As I’ve just sold my all-grain kit this will be my next brew to try out my new Fermenter King Junior, replacing the Coopers heat with the ever reliable 34/70. Keep up the good work guys!
I brewed the Brigadier recently. Its a typical English pale ale/bitter. I quite like this style, described by my son as a beery beer. A good kit and one I'll do again. Their Landlords and Razorback are good as well. Might not be the most adventurous brews but thats the way I roll.
Hello from Victoria Australia, I'm glad you used Novalager yeast, I use that every week in my all grain lagers, the yeast they provide with the Coopers Lager kits is an ale yeast, you can taste the difference with a lager yeast it is more clean and crisp and more like a true lager, as for 32C down here you don't notice it because our heat is a dry heat 32C on the beach is great, 32C up in the tropical north in Brisbane, Queensland it feels hotter because of the humidity
Thanks guys for this brilliant and honest review, I've not brewed a Coopers kit for a long time but never had a bad one, the Brigadier sounds like a good one. Take care and all the best, Huzzar, to The KING. Stevie
Well done Mate (Australian accent) every beer drinker should have the right to have their beer served though a pump sprinkler. It is our right as a Northerner. Blessid are the beer makers
Festival kits are great. I will have to give the Brigadier a go. For any beginners watching this, you can of course save money and brew the Coopers kit with the supplied yeast and a kilo of sugar, which is probably how most of us on here started brewing!
Regarding sparklers on beer, it works both ways, when I was 'up North' a few years ago I always got hassle when asking for a beer with the sparkler off but totally agree, customer choice, it doesn't take much effort to do what the customer prefers :) Great entertaining video as ever :)
@@beerkitreviewspartridge1083 agreed. I used to ask for it off but was told they can't touch it incase they transfer bacteria from hands, I guess it's not economic with time to keep sanitising hands ? My beer engine has a southern pour spout not a swan neck so I think you'd lose the will to live lol
For just taking the piss they were fair dinkum. Good show, thanks guys
I made that coopers Euro lager using a flavour enhancer kit 3 and the standard yeast and it was excellent. A real bargain.
Brigadier defo on my next order, gents. Festival Landlord one of my go to's so no surprise that Brigadier is excellent.
Keep up the good work :-)

Good video fellas. Festival make great kits. Not tried that one. Made the lager one many times. Usually dry hop some saaz hellertau.
Great video as always!

I'm becoming a big fan of the Novalager yeast and have had fantastic results so far with it...even at 22 degrees! Great video again fellas. Cheers! 🍻
Have you tried, w34/70....someone needs to do a split batch review
just bottled this guys been stored for a couple of weeks cant wait to try it cheers guys (steve tommoe thompson from durham uk
I see mangrove jack's have a blackforest stout out now, nudge nudge wink wink
When I travel to anywhere below Brummie land I always put a sparklet in my pocket. If the bar staff refuse out comes the syringe😂 nice one lads
Whats that how's that work dave
Great clip as always gentleman, the enhancers certainly seem to be the way forward, great work 🍺👍

With any lager, use Nova lager yeast unless you want wait 3 months. If you don't mind waiting? use a traditional lager yeast.
I'm from down south well originally anyway lol😂 now live in Cornwall and I agree with you guys on the sparkler nothing worse than a flat ale cheers 🍻
Born and bred in Hull but I don't like sparklers, they knock the life out of your beer.
Agree with the principle that you can like them of course. :)
Yeh sparkler off 👍👍
The point am trying to make is that it should be everyone's choice at the point of sale ,on or off,

Hi, what a fine pair of jesters you are lol, how long did you condition the coopers euro lager for dave?
I keg it back at the start of July
Is Coopers European Lager the best extract lager kit you have brewed???
Sparklers are for shandy pants :)
Is this lager Coopes the best extract kit in your opinion
Hard to say,but it does not beat the nectaron from darkrock
@@beerkitreviewspartridge1083 L ove your show btw. ..I'll have to try that with nova yeast or w34/70
Sorry meant best lager kit
Typical CAMRa nonsense
Sprinklers? Throw them away
Great content yet again. Do you pressure ferment?
