It's the 5.5% variety, so I set Willamette as 60", but sadly I only have a 1/2 ounce of it.
For the 45" I shoved in 1/2 oz Hersbrucker because I have many open packages of it, and it's pretty ... um ... well, bland. Grassy, and just kinda muted.
Then I put the 1/2 oz of Tett that I have at 30". Still only 11 IBUs.
Alternately, if I use 1/2 oz Magnum for my 60 minute, then the Willamette at 45 and the Tett at 30, that puts me right at 21 IBUs. Hmm. That's a thought.
Can't wait to brew this. I really don't want to wait two weeks, maybe I'll make next weekend a double or triple brew day. Rich's idea of Carrot juice has me intrigued.  |

Mashing in on a 10 gallon batch of this now! Changed the caramel 40 to caramel 60 to compensate for my lighter munich malt. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing as this was fantastic last time I made it! Looking forward to sipping this again this fall! Thanks for another great recipe BierMuncher!

Give it a good long time (3-4 weeks) in the primary. With a healthy dose of munich and crystal...even the slightest hint of diacetyl will create too much of a buttery/butterscotch flavor.
Should not be a problem with a full fermentation on a good yeast bed.

I always give at least 2 weeks in the primary... Planning 3 for this one though... Since I'm getting a nice backlog of brews stored up these days! :-) And I'm hoping to have this all bottle conditioned right around the first of October...

This got me thinking. Since an Oktoberfest does not have esters AND pitching onto a yeast cake produces a fast ferment with little esters would this not be a great way to produce a "non-lagered non-ester"beer, suitable to an Oktoberfest style?? Just wondering, what do y'all think. Charlie

That's kinda the point of the whole OctoberFAST concept.

Uh oh. I did something dumb. I was shopping drunk... and bought 10 gal worth of ingredients.... pre mixed. I meant to only buy 5. Guess this goes on hold for a bit. Maybe I can get another brewer to join forces with me next weekend and split the loot... or maybe I'll feel ambitious and try another 10 gal. I made it through the last one alive after all (but a bit worse for the wear).
BM, You'll tell me this recipe's *totally* worth having 10 gal on hand for, right? 
Guess I get to make my Apricot Wheat today after all! Now where'd that grain mill go....?

Fromt eh first cool nights of September through the long dreary weather of MArch...it's a good sipper.
