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.
