Just cracked my first mocktoberfest today. Did it with WLP029 at 62F for 4 days then ramped to 68F for 10. It's been in the bottle for 2 weeks. Already very tasty. :ban:

1. Color is determined by many things, but most notably the grains/extracts used combined with boil time. Adding more extracts at...

Hit 125 and held it for 30 minutes, then raised to maybe 140 and held it for 30, then got it up to 150 and held it for an hour. Probably fell to 147 over the course of the hour.

Absolutely right. All fine examples of the style.

American Pilsner. I think more of these need to be brewed. Victory and New Glarus can't continue standing alone on this.

Using mini siphon with normal sized fermenters

I've searched high and low and can't find any information on this. My auto-siphon is broken and I all I have is a mini siphon.

Keep some of the flaked. Maybe 8oz. Worth it for the head retention and it won't make the beer overly sweet.

Try tossing in a few cups of rice hulls with your grain bill. After seeing my...

I'm very partial to the 3068, which is the same yeast strain as WL300. I like to ferment a little high (70-75F) to let the banana esters really shine. Classic delicious sweet German hef!

Week in the bottle and taste was phenomenal. Perhaps a touch sweeter than a Paulaner or Franziskaner, but altogether very nice and very "Bavarian."

Also swirled up WAY too much yeast into my pour....
