What's a good oktoberfest beer to brew?
|
|
Me and my roommates are throwing a small Oktoberfest party at the end of October and they asked me if I could brew an Oktoberfest for it. The thing is... I pretty much brew IPA's exclusively so I don't really know any good Oktoberfest recipes. Nothing too big, I need to have it done within a month. Anyone got any good ones?
EDIT: I can't brew lagers...

+1 to the Octoberfast recipe from biermuncher. I've made it several times and it's always a huge hit

An Oktoberfest is a lager. But you can make some "similar to Oktoberfests" ales. Use a very "clean" ale yeast and keep the temperature in the low 60s. Pacman yeast, if you can find it, at 60-62 degrees, will make a very clean ale that might be confused for a lager. Nottingham dry yeast works well at those temperatures also, and leaves a nice clear beer behind, with an almost-lagerlike finish.

Danstar has a new attenuative ale yeast that flocs quickly as well... Bry-97 ... That with some munich/vienna/pils, and maybe some c20 would make a solid alternative to a true okto
