the first beer i ever made was a cooper's stout, almost exactly 17 years ago. i am not a big fan of liquid malt extract, although i sure sold a lot of it and a lot of the cooper's kits. those are pretty old skewl, these days. when i worked at the homebrew store, i did take a couple home that were expired (free!) and cooked 'em up, just to relive that first time and to keep it fresh what the customers were going to be doing. good times.
