BREWING a Fosters Lager Clone! All-Grain Beer Recipe
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 06. 2024
- Foster's Lager is an iconic Australian beer known for its refreshing taste and distinctive branding. It's a pale lager that's light and crisp, making it a popular choice for social gatherings, barbecues, and good times with good mates. The irony is…. This stuff is just about impossible to find in Australia! So why not clone it?
Ours tastes remarkably similar to the real thing! coming in at 4.7% it is slightly lower in ABV than the original's 4.9%, but it carries through with the same crisp finish, refreshing floral and slightly fruity character, low bitterness and beautiful straw to gold colour. This is a true replica of the symbol of Australian beer culture!

This video was excellent. So fun to the see the entire process and I appreciate the Freedom Units and the chemistry breakdowns 😂
Haha cheers mate!
As an Aussie I am absolutely shocked to see you managed to find a Fosters, I have only seen that stuff when I visited the UK.
I'm expecting you to have no issues with the temp, of course pitching temp is important but my last pale lager was done at room temp and let the yeast (34/70)pressurise the all rounder to 30psi, ferment was quick, beer was already at ~2.2 volumes by the time ferment finished and no off flavours at all, pressure is definitely the future. Interested to see you guys do the comparison!
Cheers mate! Yeah I’m pretty sure these cans here are imported from the UK hahaha. They are definitely maltier than I remember. Will be interesting to do the side by side
Looking forward to the comparison. Here in the UK it’s absolutely everywhere 😂🤣another great vid cheers 👍🍻
Haha cheers mate! Yeah I’m pretty sure these ones were actually imported from the UK!
Everyone I know hates on Foster's, but I actually enjoy drinking some now and then. I'll definitely have to take a crack at brewing some up. 👍👍
Yeah honestly I was surprised by how much I liked them after trying them again! It’s been years since I last had one
Mad result 🤙🏼
Sadly most of my mates only drink boring beer, so a lager clone could be on the cards to convince them haha
Hahaha yeah a simple lager is a great way to convert the uninitiated
Great attempt. I looked at the Brewfather recipe and thought it very pale. At the price of Dextrose it is unlikely to be used outside the home brewer. I have concentrated my brewing this last year to brewing Lagers using Novalager yeast. I use Cooper's Ale and Wheat malts. To get colour, I have been toasting (roasting) a percentage of Ale malt. I toast the Ale malt at 200C for 30 minutes in an oven stirring about 4 times for an average of 80EBC. This toasted malt gives me an estimated yield of 65% and fermentability of 35%. I use 2.5% wheat malt and up to 5% toasted Malt with the Ale malt for the lagers.
Oh wow yeah I must admit I havnt roasted my own grains before, is there a reason you do that instead of just buying the corresponding specialty malt?
@@flyingwombattv In SA the availability of Australian product to produce an Australian beer is limited. I have to buy hops from interstate as local home brew shop sells POR '21 harvest. I buy local Coopers Ale 25 kg bag @ $68 and Coopers Wheat @ 3.95/kg. Most specially malts range from $6 to $10 per kilo. Specialty malts are more flavour driven and not suitable for an Australian Lager. Toasting my own grain is cheaper, fresher, adds character and colour without too much flavour. An alternative is to add a small amount of roasted barley to the mash to gain the golden hue.
Yeah fair enough man, that’s the beauty of homebrew, what ever works for you is the right answer
great video, dudes. looking forward to the comparison. thanks for the american conversions lol i'm getting better at knowing ths general conversion to metric, since many channels i watch aren't from the US.
Haha cheers mate, I am slowly becoming fluent in “freedom” units hahaha
Love your content ... still check in on the Easter Bunny stout from last year
Haha cheers mate! Yeah as we head into winter I reckon we should circle back to another choccy stout
Great video. Love the way you are stepping through each of the components. Everytime I watch, I want to get into all grain. But need to save up for a Brewzilla.
Cheers mate! When you do you won’t regret it, all grain is bloody brilliant, gives you all the freedom to make anything you want
I like your hat.
Cheers mate
Clone...so hard to achieve... all but impossible. I did a Great Northern 'clone' and after 3 recipe variations stopped at a beer 'very much like GN', but actually with a little more flavour and character... I imagine this brew will be the same, similar but better.
Yeah it really is! And it’s not just recipe, it’s processes, equipment and so many other factors. It will never be identical but we can get pretty close
It’s hard to replicate something as bland as GN.😂
Honestly was it worth it. Bet yours shits all over the original
Results are out very soon… but it was an interesting experience hahaha
