Draught Coopers beer concentrate 1,7 kg for 23 L of beer

Product characteristics:
This is a product of the Australian company Coopers used to prepare 23 L of beer.
Each can contains:
-1.7 kg of hermetically sealed hopped malt (with no preservatives added) — its consistency resembles caramel/honey.
-a sachet of brewing yeast (attached under the lid). The concentrate currently has a very attractive price related to its best-before period. Taking advantage of this promotion and preparing the beer promptly will ensure full satisfaction with the purchase and the result.
Microbiological tests carried out at the Institute of Biotechnology of the Agri-Food Industry in Łódź showed that these concentrates have identical microbiological parameters to malt extracts with a current best-before date. Our internal tests also confirmed that the final product retains the quality of beer made from extracts within their current best-before date.

5. Enough for everyone — one can of concentrate allows you to make 23 L of excellent homebrew beer!

The Draught concentrate is a product of the Coopers brand — the work of top-class Australian specialists who for generations have been creating brewkits — hopped malt extracts for making beer at home — valued worldwide. Thanks to the creative combination of Coopers’ recipes with the experience of BROWIN, which specializes, among other things, in producing yeast and assortment for home microbreweries, making your own beer is now easier than ever.

The Draught concentrate makes a pale beer with full flavour, a slightly bitter finish, a white head, floral notes and a pale yellow–gold colour. It has a wonderful aroma with a flavour characteristic of “bitter” beers. It is famous for good head retention and a light colour. Often referred to as “A Bitter Sip”. All these features make this concentrate a standard for home minibrewries. Under the lid of the can with the concentrate there is yeast, which makes making home beer exceptionally simple. The kit contains high-quality malt, aromatic hops and specially selected yeast. The concentrate, sterile equipment, water and a chosen sweetening agent — these are the only products you need to soon enjoy the unique taste and aroma of a homemade, golden beverage with a refined character. Tasting it with family or friends will become your source of pride and will enliven even a larger party — one can of Draught will let you prepare 23 L of high-quality home beer.

A way to save!

The price of the equipment is an investment in the future — all the necessary products: fermenter, caps, capper — cost approx. PLN 200. Of course, over time you can develop your brewing passion, moving on to an increasingly professional path and using additional products dedicated to homebrewing enthusiasts. However, minimal basic equipment is enough to enjoy beer you made yourself. We especially recommend our MIKROBROWAR 1 (406000) kit, which is a great gift idea and also a complete starter set for anyone wanting to start their brewing adventure.

This expense will pay for itself very quickly, especially since making beer from concentrate is more cost-effective than buying ready-made beer in a store. For example, when buying Coopers concentrates for 23 L of beer (average can price: PLN 70) — the cost of a 500 ml bottle is PLN 1.5. By adding sugar or glucose (which improves the taste of the beer) — this cost will rise to PLN 2. Still, it is lower than or similar to the most popular “regular” beers available in large discount stores, at promotional prices from PLN 2.5 to 3. Also remember that the pleasure of drinking and sharing home beer with friends and family is... priceless! For those who like more sophisticated flavours and craft beers, we have Amber Ale, Long Play IPA and Diablo IPA concentrates, allowing you to prepare up to 8.5 L of beer. These are more refined styles, often found in craft brewing, to which you can also add hopped malt extracts to achieve an even more pronounced flavour. The cost of making such beer is from PLN 2 to 3 per 500 ml bottle. Meanwhile, promotional prices for this type of beer in discount stores range from PLN 6 to even over a dozen PLN. It is therefore easy to see that thanks to our passion for home beer we can not only save money but also develop our brewing palate and delight others with tastings of increasingly interesting beverages.
