The Coopers European Lager Brewkit is a product of the Coopers brand — the work of top-class Australian specialists who for generations have created 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 the production of yeast and a range for home microbreweries, making your own beer is now easier than ever.

The European Lager extract enables you to prepare your own beer inspired by the best Premium Lagers from Northern Europe. This traditional pale beer is characterized by a white head and a light, refreshing taste with a bitter finish. All these features make this extract a standard for home microbreweries. The yeast is located under the lid of the can with the extract, which makes brewing at home exceptionally simple. The kit contains high-quality malt, aromatic hops and specially selected yeast. The extract, sterile equipment, water and your chosen sweetening agent — these are the only items you need to soon enjoy the remarkable taste and aroma of a home, golden brew with a refined character. Tasting in the company of family or friends will become your source of pride and will enliven a party even in a larger group — one can of European Lager will allow you to prepare 23 L of high-quality home beer. Serve it well chilled, in a tall narrow glass with a generously poured head — up to 5 cm!

A way to save!

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

This expense will pay for itself very quickly, especially since brewing beer from extract is more cost-effective than buying ready-made beer in a store. For example, when purchasing Coopers extracts for 23 L of beer (average can price: PLN 70) — the cost of a 500 ml bottle is PLN 1.5. Adding sugar or glucose (which improves the taste of the beer) — this cost will increase to PLN 2. Still, this is lower than or close to the price of 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 enjoy more sophisticated flavors and craft beers, we offer Amber Ale, Long Play IPA and Diablo IPA extracts, 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 obtain an even more pronounced flavor. 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. It is easy to see that thanks to a passion for home beer we are able not only to save money, but also to develop our brewing taste and impress others with the tasting of increasingly interesting brews.
