Notes: Fantastic raspberry wheat ale with a hint of honey. I tweaked this recipe from another online to match my tastes. Your final gravity may be as low as 1.022, which will give you an incredibly strong beer, but easy to drink.
My recipe was for a 5.5 gallon batch.
Steps (Using the Conical):
1. Add the wort directly from the boil to the fermenter and turn on the chiller to 68 degrees.
2. Wait 1 hr and drain trub from the fermenter. (A few quick twists of the valve handle should do it.)
***REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE AIRLOCK/BLOWOFF BEFORE DOING THIS***
3. Measure initial Specific Gravity.
4. Pitch yeast.
5. (Primary) Ferment 7 days at 68 degrees.
6. Drain trub.
7. Add raspberries.
8. (Secondary/Condition) Ferment 13 days at 68 degrees.
9. Cold crash for 24 hours at 38 degrees then warm back to 68 degrees.
10. Drain trub.
11. Measure final Specific Gravity and calculate your %ABV.
12. Add priming sugar (4.2 oz Turbinado for 2.3 volumes of CO2) to top of Fermenter and gently stir.
***DO NOT AERATE/SPLASH THE BREW***
13. (Optional) Wait 1/2 hour to allow brew to settle.
14. Bottle and condition at room temperature (72 - 78 degrees) for 2 weeks.
15. Chill bottle for 48 hours.
16. Enjoy! |

Note on my water: use 8 gallons of spring water. Water needs to be a mineral soft water for this style. Will use local tap to do my second sparge. I'm adjusting my grains to fit my efficiency.
he Real Oktoberfest Beer
A blonde lager is what is served at the true Oktoberfest.
DAVE CARPENTER
The Real Oktoberfest Beer Primary Image
Saturday, September 16, marked the official start of Munich’s 2017 Oktoberfest. Taking place over the course of two weeks, the world-famous party will end on Tuesday, October 3, and is expected to draw more than 6 million visitors from around the globe. While it’s best known as a beer-fueled celebration of Bavarian culture, the original Oktoberfest was actually a glorified wedding reception.
On October 12, 1810, the future king of Bavaria, Crown Prince Ludwig, was married to Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Somewhat unusually for royal weddings, a large public festival was held in a meadow near the gates of the city of Munich. Everyone had such a great time that they decided to make it an annual thing, and, this being Bavaria, it wasn’t long before beer overshadowed the premiere event’s nuptial nature. (As for Ludwig, he would go on to have numerous extramarital affairs, author some spectacularly uninspired poetry, and abdicate the throne in shame.)
Today’s Oktoberfest takes place in the very same meadow, called the Theresienwiese, which means “Therese’s meadow.” In the local dialect, both the meadow and the festival itself are known as the Wies’n.
The beer Americans most associate with Oktoberfest celebrations is, naturally, Oktoberfest beer. But, as any beer nerd who has made the pilgrimage to Munich in late September will tell you, the beer served at the festival is a blonde lager, not the amber Oktoberfest beer we all know and love.
ADVERTISEMENT
What we think of as Oktoberfest beer in the United States is, strictly speaking, a Märzenbier, or “March beer.” Traditionally brewed in March, this malty amber lager would have been stored away in caves to sustain the thirsty masses throughout the summer. Come fall, any remaining Märzen would have been consumed to free up barrels for the new season’s beers.
What is actually served on the Wies’n today is, however, more like a hefty Helles or a mild Maibock than the historic Märzenbier. It’s specially brewed just for the celebration and is called, appropriately enough, Festbier. Rather than highlight the toasted flavors of Munich and Vienna malts, Festbier’s bready Pils malt and well-balanced noble hops character offer the ideal accompaniment to Obatzda (a cheese spread made from Camembert), Schweinshaxe (roasted pork knuckle), and big-as-your-face pretzels.
Festbier can be somewhat hard to come by outside Munich, as it’s seldom packaged for export. But if you can’t find a good commercial example, you can always brew one yourself any time of year. Just start with your favorite Helles recipe, bump up the base malt until you hit an original gravity in the neighborhood of 1.055–1.060, and increase the bittering hops addition somewhat to compensate.
The recipe below is based on Helles I Know, a Munich Helles featured originally in the Fall 2014 issue of Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®. Carefully brewed and lovingly lagered for six or more weeks, all it needs to round it out is an oom-pah band and your finest Lederhosen or Dirndl.
