Beerlust Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Ordered the ROTM on Wednesday just gone believing I might see it before the weekend,.....WRONG! Having the ability to track the progress via Aus Post, it appears to be coming from QLD? & will likely not hit my doorstep until mid next week! Obviously I'm not up on current events here, but I still find it all quite bizarre given I live about 20 minutes away from the Coopers brewery itself here in SA. Ohh well, the Beer Train must roll on, so I've had to do a little shopping earlier today for some ingredients to brew something else. Moving on... Lusty.

Xenon Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yep I posted about this exact same issue a few weeks ago , I also live not too far from Coopers but all the Mail orders come from Queensland now. I found if I order on the Monday it arrived on Friday so I make allowances now. I think they must have changed, because when I bought my first Kit online last Xmas it arrived one day after ordering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnaman Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hey Lusty, when was that order of your's going to turn up? Coopers shipping from Queensland? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi Magnaman. Hey Lusty' date=' when was that order of your's going to turn up? [img']lol[/img] I suppose that really depends on whether it is going via Singapore, or via Melbourne on route to Adelaide. Your delivery from Coopers Online Store is in transit. We are currently planning to deliver your parcel(s) by Thursday 25th June 2015 Please keep in mind that this date isn't definite' date=' as your parcel may arrive earlier or later. You will receive your next notification email on the day when we plan to make your delivery. [/quote'] Let's hope the part-time taxi driver come part-time postal delivery guy can find my house! I'll be happy if the yeast is still alive & the kit tin hasn't past it's use-by-date. And so are the Days Of Our Lives.... Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I was being a bit sneaky and may or may not have stumbled upon the next ROTM: Weizen, nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuznut Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I was being a bit sneaky and may or may not have stumbled upon the next ROTM: Weizen' date=' nice! [img']w00t[/img] How'd you stumble across that one? I hope they bring one out soon... I've got a discount code which runs out tomorrow, but I've been waiting to see what ROTM they bring out first before I stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerveja Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It came up this arvo. Coopers Vintage 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essfer Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It came up this arvo. Coopers Vintage 2015. Just ordered one of these. Looking forward to playing with some grains and brewing something outside my usual beer preferences - usually I just brew to the style of the megaswills I enjoy. Let's see what this homebrewing deal is really about! I've read the Coopers recipe, looks within my skill. Any hot tips on the technique side of things to make sure I get the best out of this? I wouldn't have thought of steeping the crystal in cold water... but I really don't know much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardorac Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It came up this arvo. Coopers Vintage 2015. Phwoah, I balked a bit at the $50 price point, but when I actually did a quick mental calc that's really not bad to have it packaged and sent to your door. Did Cooper's provide the DIY recipe of their past vintages so early after releasing commercially? I would have thought they'd want a bit more store presence before giving out their secrets.

CanuckDownUnder Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Just put my order in for the 2015 pack, really looking forward to brewing this one. essfer, I'd just make sure you follow the recipe closely and it should turn out great. I'm just a kit+hop brewer myself, the only time I have ever worked with grains was when I made the 2013 Vintage Ale recipe. I still have some bottles of that brew around, I sampled one a few weeks ago and it's aged beautifully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loch Brewer Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Those ROTM's are just too tempting! I haven't got my Darth Weizer made yet but the extra strong vintage ale sounds great. Think i'll be ordering it tonight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
