Foster's Lager Clone
Premium American Lager • All Grain • 5 gal
I've made this batch over and over. This *is* Foster's Lager! Don't be afraid to use the table sugar. I know all the books say 'cider - don't don't it.' but its okay in this beer.

Mash time and sugar

I mashed at 156 degrees x60 min. Had conversation at 45 min. Also added sugar early since I wasn’t sure if a late addition would work. Would be nice to have had some specifics. Lagering now. Had to substitute yeast and hops to comparables due to in availability. We’ll see.
