DavidB44 0 Posted April 5, 2017 The yeast that comes with it would be the standard coopers ale yeast that comes with any of the original series coopers cans. If you're near innerwest Sydney I've got a stack of these in my fridge I could give you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deeks 0 Posted April 7, 2017 Any update on when the new Coopers Ginger Beer will be release? It's been a while since the old one was discontinued so would like to try the new one as soon as it is released. I also heard a rumour that BrewArt might be releasing a Ginger Beer BrewPrint so I will be happy if they do. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dugite1525230110 0 Posted August 21, 2017 This is what they sent me last week is a bit different the last time i asked but here it is Hi Stuart Thanks for your enquiry and following up on the status of Coopers Ginger Beer brewing extract. At present we don’t have a date for when it is back on shelves. Unfortunately we’ve just had a run of unforeseen road blocks in the production of Ginger Beer. Due to the nature of Ginger and its properties (smell, taste) it is extremely difficult to manufacture and as such we’ve unfortunately come across delays that were beyond anticipation. I can assure you that we want it produced and available just as much as you do! I thank you for your patience and rest assured we will make an announcement (you won’t be able to miss) once it is available again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvgingerbeer 0 Posted February 13, 2018 Hi, I have been waiting in earnest for the new release, I actually rang Coopers some time mid last year when I couldn't find it on the shelves and spoke to a girl there, at the time she told me the new production run was a few months away putting the release around September 2017. Well guys it is now mid February 2018 and I don't see it on any shelves?? I unintentionally had a few cans of it for no other reason than I have the philosophy of I would rather say "here it is" than "where is it", I brewed a batch 2 weeks ago delicious, I have 1 can left. A couple of years back I tried to replicate the taste as I consider the coopers to be the best tasting ginger beer I have ever tasted, my feeble attempts to brew using fresh or powdered ginger didn't get me even close and we all know what the "other" brand of DIY ginger beer tastes like (puke). I have read the comments about the old batch tasting of artificial sweetener and until reading the comments I never give it a thought but bear in mind I condition in a keg and pour from tap and that improves the flavour of any of the Coopers DIY products as opposed to secondary fermentation in a bottle, but that is just my humble opinion. The fact is for me the coopers tastes better than anything else on the market wether it be a DIY or brewery produced off the shelf in a bottle. I have 20l on tap and 1 can left, I am getting desperate!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norris! 790 Posted February 13, 2018 Cheeky Peaks In wodonga makes a ginger beer that is beautiful and is ready to drink once you keg, so 14 days. It is $38 but you literally just toss the yeast in and just walk away. https://cheekypeakbrewery.com.au/cheeky-peak-ginger-beer-22ltr-fresh-wort-kit This is on rotation at my house along with a MJ pear cider and whatever hoppy pale ale I make. Not sure about shipping costs but if you can try it, I would recommend it. Cheers, Norris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumping jack flash 62 Posted February 13, 2018 I just can't imagine what on earth the hold up is. I brewed several morgans gb kits what else can you do...l made a comment in another post suggesting to put the artificial sweetener in a small separate yeast size packet sashe, so gb brewers have an option to use or not to use...other than that re-label it and get it out there. I have mates that love it...toped up with some rum and it makes a great alcho-pop dark and stormy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otto Von Blotto 3,554 Posted June 11 No idea what's going on with it but reading earlier comments, I don't think a yeast sachet sized amount of sweetener would have much effect on a 20 odd litre batch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
