“It sounds good. All IBU from bittering hops?”
I got 28 IBUs from 60 minutes in the boil and 2 IBUs from 12 minutes.
So I’ve settled on 17.5 pounds pils and 5 pounds of dark muncher. I will finish at 6.2… Just about right. Sneezles61
I just had to see how my O-fest is doing last night. I do enjoy the maltiness I’m getting from the dark munich malt. I put some more CO2, and will do so every couple of days til its time! Sneezles61

This O-fest we brewed was split in half, and one will be lager,which I have , and the other is 01 ale… We are just curious as to the out come, and we’ll also have other peeps to help find our answer. Not a contest, just to see where non brewing peeps lean. Sneezles61
Oh, and thank goodness you didn’t say imbibe!!

I did that a couple years ago. The one with ale yeast turned out really good. A few friends said they couldn’t really tell the difference. Of course it was cold conditioned for as long as the lager by the time they drank it.
I had a couple pints of mine last night. It’s a marzen style Oktoberfest. Really happy with it.

Today is going to be a beautiful day up here, and to make it even better, we will have our O-fest! I have the Mayor from our town to do the inaugural tap and sample! If he doesn’t like it, some say we cancel our fest. I say we boot the bum out and carry on!!

Looks good brew cat!
oh that looks so good! We had brats, pretzels, smoked salmon, and misc. crunchies that kept all going great. The gentleman that introduced me to brewing in 2001 also did a show… he imbibed in many. so I can think of that as a OKY DOKY! Sneezles61
