Notes: Prior to pitching- wort was sweet (duh!), and the mouthfeel suitable. The smell was very tropical due to the low bittering hop schedule; Azaaca and Pekko hops reminded me of everything from mango, cucumber and mint. Used a 1 liter starter w/o stir plate (2 days prior to pitching). extremely bright yellow color, reminiscent of a banana peel. OG= 1.050. Fermentation is occurring at ambient room temperature, which during this time of year is between 74-76. A little on the high side for this yeast, but we'll see what happens.
Day 3 - high-krausen has subsided, but the yeast has produced enough CO2 that the sample I pulled was slightly carbonated. Gravity reading = 1.012 (4.99% ABV). At this point, I believe primary fermentation is suitably completed. Tasting notes- excellent mouthfeel; mild, creamy body. Taste like a tropical hefeweizen- subdue notes of banana and clove, but the taste from the boil addition of orange peel and grapefruit peel are present on the back end. I am resisting the temptation of pulling the beer out of primary and putting into secondary. I will leave the beer on the wort until day 7. Will pull a new gravity reading at day 5. Deciding on whether or not to use fining agents to make the beer clearer, like a kristalweizen, or to keep the traditional wheat haze present. Very pleased with the choice of yeast.
Day 5 - gravity has fallen to 1.006 (5.78% ABV). Evidently, I was clearly wrong about fermentation being done on day 3. Will monitor for atleast another 2 days to see if the gravity stabilizes. If it is stable on day 7, I will make to secondary on day 10 or 11. I don't want to rush this beer, but I am eager to pour a glass of it. The honey addition at flameout is now present. Still has the notes of orange peel and grapefruit peel, put I have to pull deep to tate any of the banana or clove characteristic. It is a bit sweeter on the pallet than I am used to tasting, but I have never brewed a beer with such a low IBU. The mouthfeel is still creamy and pleasant.

Notes: Prepare starter 3 days in advance if your using a starter.
This brew is for those that want to make a Oktoberfest style homebrew but do not have the capacity to lager or use a fermentation temperature control chamber. We are using American Ale yeast in the place of the traditional lager yeast.
You can also use Safale US-05 in place of WLP001.
This is the 10 gal version.
8/24/15 - Ive made two batches of this brew.
First batch OG: 1.061 FG: 1.018. tastes great, cant wait to ferment it.
Second batch OG: 1.060 FG: TBD.
I will add photos of the final product when ready. The taste (no carbonation) reminds me of Spaten Oktoberfest. I believe I hit the nail on the head. I wont fully know until I carb it and let it age alittle. |

Notes: It has been quite a while since I made this and my Fiance accidentally through away my notes so I'm writing this down from memory I don't remember the OG or FG but It turned out Way higher ABV than stated above About 22%. After pouring Wort into carboy with 2 gal cold water I aerated for about 30 min.
I let ferment for a little over a month (This wasn't intentional I ended up moving and didn't have the time to bottle but I'm glad it happened) Then bottled normally.
My original plan had been to make a Honey Dunkelweizen But when all was said and done it tasted much more like a porter. Very Smooth taste with a slight sweetness, but don't let that fool you it packs a mean punch! I wouldn't hop in a car after drinking one if I were you! I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends and I did cheers! |

Notes: This is my all time favorite beer, have fun with it
whirlpool at 0 until the temp drops to 170 then chill, I used a -30 degree freezer on this one and it slowly chilled after 4 hours to 60F, ferment for 5 to 7 days then add the first dry hop to the fermenter in a bag, wait 5 to 7 days then pull into a keg and dry hop the second for another 3 to 5 days under Co2 then cold crash at 34 for 3 days and pull the beer off into a serving keg to carbonate, wait a week and you will love it!!
the picture below on the left is after using gelatin, otherwise it will not clear at all like the one on the right
just a recap on hop amounts it takes
