Guest Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 You won't beat THIS deal with free delivery!!.. a nice easy recipe too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 A bit pricey isn't it [innocent] ....Is it available to everyone or just the 4 People Having Troubles Obtaining Ingredients In Aust?....[bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah there are other methods of obtaining cheaper rates elsewhere, of course. However, as the title states, this would be a lot cheaper than what some people on this forum claim they pay for their Malt, Yeast and Hops etc. Also the fact they need to drive like a million miles to get supplies so with the free delivery they are also saving time and travel expenses. Just throwing another option at them [innocent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm still looking for a place to get Coopers amber liquid malt extract that doesn't charge $15 delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Well call me a sucker but I just ordered it. LOL At my LHBS the ingredients all up would cost me $42.50. So seems a pretty good deal to me :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB8 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I dont think I could get it much cheaper certainly not delivered. Whats great about this offer is the fact that Coopers are working with the seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wal Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks for the heads up Bill..!!! Coxy, Maybe I am a bit of a sucker as well - I have just ordered this one myself. At my local it would run into $43, and that's without the coasters [biggrin] This will be my first attempt with anything other than a basic kit so looking forward to giving it a go. Since I just put two brews in my fermenters on the weekend it might be a few weeks before I actually get to put it together. How is the best way to store the hop pellets 'til then?

Stoobrew Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 About even for me fellas[devil] but as you say...and wisdom is coming out here in spades. Yes it is a good deal!! As Petrol makes it MORE expensive to drive for this one! Thanks Coopers...as long as I can get over this pain in my right shoulder everytime I reach for my right pocket(the one where the wallet is)....but no this is a GOOD DEAL. Thanks for listening [kissing] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

***** Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 snip.... Also the fact they need to drive like a million miles to get supplies so with the free delivery they are also saving time and travel expenses. Doesn't even need to be a million miles these days Bill. My drive is a 70km round trip, and I get 11.5l/100km and the premium juice is about $1.70 a litre; close enough to $14. THBS sell the equivalent ingredients $28, so the Coopers deal wins even without factoring in the opportunity cost of driving down there. Luckily I kill a number of birds with the one stone, so it works out OK for me to shop at the LHBS. No doubt it is a good deal for many otherwise Coopers woudn't sell out of theses deals so quickly. For me it is a matter of what Merchandise is on offer, when a polo top is included I'll be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phAT YAK Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yes this is a great deal to be honest. I couldnt get a kit for that price at Big W or my LHBS so will look at buying this one. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianM2 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 It's hard to beat ordering online, forgeting about it, then having some fun ingredients landing on your doorstep. I'll give this one a miss but am looking forward to future offers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Don't forget the members discount either [rightful] How is the best way to store the hop pellets 'til then? Vacuum seal them if possible and put them in the freezer. If you can't vac seal them then just use a snap lock bag and try get as much air out as possible, then freeze them. Yeast = Fridge | Hops = Freezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wal Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Ha! Beat me by 7 secs Graham. [crying] Thanks fellas, I'll call this one a draw [rightful] Thanks Bill, I'll see what SWMBO has in the way of suitable bags in the pantry (not a part of the house that I know a lot about [bandit] ).

Tropico Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm in too. I've been looking around for the Pilsner can for a while, because I wanted to try the Coopers Lager yeast that comes with the kit. The only one that I have seen in stock has best before date later this year, so I think that it has been on the shelf for a while. Now I have one, with a European Lager yeast as well.

Muddy Waters Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Now that I think about it I guess it isn't a bad price [whistling ...Doesn't appeal to me though but I'm not really a pilsener fan. I hope one day they put together a nice hop fuelled pale ale - Then I might give it a go...but then again I'm probably better off just putting a recipe together myself.

I think in essence I was trying to say that I'd prefer a Pale Ale but then I realised it'd be much cheaper to just throw one together myself. I have no problem with making kit beer recipes, especially ones put together by the great PB2. Essentially I am just a tightarse and I like to keep my brewing within budget....although I wont cut corners on quality to save money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not speak Net Speak, I was merely providing a community service [biggrin] I understand what you're saying. Comparing apples to apples, the recipe kits from coopers are pretty good value. This case for example is a saving of a couple of bucks, plus free delivery - whereas I'd need to go out of my way to my LHBS to get it (which when riding my bike is no big deal, no petrol cost etc). That said I had already ordered Saaz pellets from Craftbrewer which I got the day this deal came out. Ha. Oh well, I can dry hop this recipe too [love] Convenience is king! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
