Anyone have a good Octoberfest recipe? AG or Extract.
Basically, I’ve been afraid to try any lager recipes, mostly because I didn’t want to commit to having my freezer at non-ale temps for that long, but I have a Kegerator now that I can lager in, and this is one of my favorite styles.
It was my first lager also. I have a keg of it on tap ATM and I love this beer.
My Ofest recipe and a thread discussing Oktoberfest/Marzen brews can be found here:
I’m brewing the following Oktoberfest recipe today. My first lager. Got the swamp cooler down in the low 40s with ice bottles awaiting it’s new baby. Will use my new plate chiller for the first time today. Untested so that’s kind of sketchy…
I didn’t want to decoct but I wanted this beer a little darker than the base malts were going to get it so I added an ounce of carafa II.
How do you think this grain bill will turn out? I’m going for a more munich tasting malty profile. Used the boil…
Here’s a recipe I do like to brew. I did change the 2oz of carafa3 was little dark so I used carafa1

I have brewed Danny’s ofest…and other than me not letting it carb enough and/or using carafa iii…its delightful.
I should mention that I actually use carafa special in that recipe. It’s dehusked and contributes almost no roasty flavor like the regular carafa.
