Malter White Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It's the 11th of the month and no sign of ROTM yet. I'm not overly worried about the recipe but I love free shipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 I've just been to Dan Murphy to pick up a few brewing supplies because the ROTM/free shipping promo hadn't showed up. I get home and look what's arrived on the Coopers DIY website - the ROTM and free shipping. (Grumble, mumble...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTM looks interesting though. I might have to give Kveik a crack at some point, waiting on AK's feed back with his side by side ferment using Voss and US-05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek86 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) considering for the price you have to supply half the ingredients including yeast its too expensive better off buying seperate. edit apologies the yeast is included in latest one looked at heaps on here where recepies say u supply but is still expensive.

ozdevil Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 my question here is and i might get the savage barkers on me the only time i would muck around with small batches like the zombie is if i was trying to make a new recipe i have not tried so i dont waste, at the cost of what there asking why would you brew 9litres for? @ $46 for 9 litres of beer thats expensive and i could do an A.G beer to 23 litres at 7-8% for less and be just as tastey compared to the stout they have for the month which looks to be ripper and i may put in order tommorow for 22 litres @ $55 i would hate to think what coopers would sell the zombie for if making 23 l worth I like the idea of small batch brewing but it shouldnt be a premium like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion it is worth it. Quality vs Quantity but that's just me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality vs Quantity but that's just me. i get what ya saying , you could do the exact same Quality beer using A.g for that particular brew much for far less dollars i just don't see the quality is worth $46 dollars the beer you make from the kit maybe a quality extrract and taste great , but its a very expensive beer. ya know i have seen some of Gashes zombie lust beers which are ripper of brews and i looked at tis extract thinking wow i might do a extract of this before combating one of gashes zombie lust beers in hope it was 23l or close to for around 60 bucks but when i seen 9l @ $46 bucks i thought very expensive for a small batch brew i still might suck the price up and do it.. but its got me thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) @ozdevil your exactly right and I have voiced similar opinions in the past. It might have been before tried my first mr beer kit or had only tried the one. Yes they are heaps more expensive that doing an AG brew or 23 litre kit brew for same price or extra $10. after trying a couple of them now I can't believe the flavour they manage to get into those tins if brew it basic compared to 1.7kg normal one. I reckon classics figures are close after leave trube behind $6 a litre roughly. compared to buying craft beer by 6 pack slab or pint still heaps cheaper. Yes we spend little bit of time mixing it making sure temp ok and bottling it but it's the hobby thing why we do it. But I agree even with free shipping they could knock $5 off. But then again if we ordered everything with free postage and got the other things individually at LHBS we could save a bit. But I guess it's like the ppl who pay for carb drops it's the convenience of someone else doing it for us. And I have previously stated about 15 grams yeast they provide being un nessasary too much so completely agree. I think some recepies look good but would rather source everything myself and brew when I feel like it. Also use a quantity of yeast more suitable to it.

Classic Brewing Co Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I am definitely going to order the AUS IPA $59.00 for 23litres is a whole lot better than paying $79.00 for a Carton 24 at Thirsty Camel I tried a can at a mates place & didn't mind it, so bring it on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I got the Australian IPA and ordered the Voyager American Pale Ale advanced pack too. Between the two it took my order over $80, so I get the Voyager pack delivered for free. Yep, I could probably shop around for the individual bits and pieces and pick them up in person and save a few bucks, but I like the convenience of these packs coming straight to my door. It's like Christmas. I just missed out on some secondhand kegs because I wanted to haggle to get $40 off. Somebody else popped up and offered to pay the asking price. I lost, for the sake of a few dollars. Life's too short. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wondered about secondhand kegs, I have seen them on Gumtree & the odd sale but can't help thinking what if they weren't looked after properly, are they hard to clean or can they get damaged ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
