What to use with this kit

The official Coopers recipe specifies 1 kg of Brew Enhancer 3. Where that exact product is unavailable, these are useful alternatives with different outcomes:

Mangrove Jack’s Dark Liquid Malt Extract 1.5 kg for considerably more malt body, colour and strength; consider additional yeast for the larger fermentable load.
Brewtec Liquid Brewing Sugar 1 kg for a lighter-bodied, simpler kit addition.

For bottle conditioning, Coopers Carbonation Drops provide convenient individual-bottle dosing.
