I think the same recipe should just about cover all of the following - Fosters, West End Draught, Swan Draught, Tooheys New, Carlton Draught, VB and XXXX Draught

Coopers Draught or Coopers Lager
Coopers Brew Enhancer 1 or 750g dextrose + 250g maltodextrin
Pride of Ringwood hop bag
Saflager S-23 yeast (optional)

Pretty simple and bland beers, but very easy for the beginner to emulate. Hopefully after doing these once or twice you will start to experiment and find a whole new world of quality beer that even you, the homebrewer, can produce.

Very easy to drink too.

Suggestioned variations:
Switch the BE1 to BE2, or even an Ultrabrew, and switch the POR for a more subtle hop variety.

Cheers,
Greg.

I just opened #10 which was:

1 can Coopers Draught
600 gm LME
100 gm maltodextrin
13 gr plug of EKG (15min)
coopers dry yeast
1 wk ferment @ 22
After 2 1/2 weeks in bottle it tastes like beez neez.
Maccas "lawnmower lager".

Most lagers tend to like temps around 12-14C....anyone else got any other 'tried & tested' suggestions?
