Default Oktoberfest (1st place, scored 42)

Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Wyeast 2633 Octoberfest Lager Blend
Yeast Starter: Yes
Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: 2L
Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5
Original Gravity: 1.058
Final Gravity: 1.014

Took 1st place in the 2012 Novembeerfest competition held at Larry's Brewing Supply, Kent Wa. This was my second competition entered (got two 2nd places out of three entries for the first comp), 1st entry for this beer.

Brewed it in early April 2012 and tapped it Mid Sept, bottled 3 12oz bottles after my 2nd Annual Oktoberfest Party. I actually had two versions of this beer, one with Bavarian Lager yeast and the second with the Octoberfest Lager Blend yeast.


Grain Bill (90 min mash @ 152 deg)

5.5 lbs Munich
5.5lbs Pilsner
1lbs, 4 oz. Caramunich
3 oz Hallertaur (2.5%) - Boil 6o min

I would have added the Beersmith file but not sure how to do so.

I see you added the lager yeast, did you lager it? I am assuming so.
