    First Coopers Brew

    Very good beer. I brewed it 7 days and bottled it for 6 weeks. Taste good and is very drinkable. Next time I will ferment longer.

    Decent ale

    Decent ale; recommend extending the brewing time to at least 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks in the bottles for decent carbonation. I've found the sugar drops are slower for carbonation than just adding table sugar.
