Review on 🍺 Coopers DIY Beer Bottling Set – 15 Qty, 740ml Oxygen Barrier, for Home Brewing Perfection by Jasmine Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for sparkling cider

ANOTHER UPDATE: have been using them for over 3 years - same bottles. Incredible quality. UPDATE: Still happy with it but 1 out of 15 had a manufacturing defect around the neck and didn't hold the seal. ORIGINAL REVIEW: If you've tried bottling cider or beer in regular or Grolsch-style bottles, you know what a pain day is. Filling these bottles is a breeze. Disinfect bottles and caps with Starsan, drain some water, fill and screw on caps. That's all. And what I particularly like is that after two weeks, I can press once every day and determine when they are ready for a cold. I was always scared of the bottle bomb because that would be for my homemade cider as SWMBO would ban it so I always lightly carbonate but you can make as much carbonated with this as you want. Once the bottle has hardened, place it in the fridge. I brew about 3 gallons at a time, that's 14-15 bottles, so their case is perfect for a batch of cider. I just filled my second case today and opened the first from the case I filled 2 weeks ago. The fizz was perfect and the bottle worked great. I was about to write that I don't like that ring on the cap that stays on the bottle after opening, but before I wrote it I took the bottle and found that the ring comes off very easily - no problem, and it doesn't tighten the threads. I love the fact that the caps are reusable, but I can see that they will eventually need to be replaced so it's good to know that the rings just slip off. I'll be buying another case now and a few more cases before I know it's the right way to go. Once everyone knows, the price will go up!

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • I have nothing I don't like, everything is fine
