I've been brewing ales exclusively forever- and have decided to take advantage of my current basement temps to use White Labs 820 Oktoberfest yeast. I got 10lbs of Light Munich cheap, because the bag was sliced open. I was like "I know I've seen that in Okt.fest. recipes- I'll use that as a base!" and I was gonna use same pale malt as well. My plan was to get home- research recipes and find out what else I'd need (specialty grains, hops I might not have on hand, etc.) and it looks like 90% of the recipes I see use it as like oh....20% of the grain bill or even less. Oh! I see. I did read that you can use it for up to 100% of the grain bill.
Could those of you who have experience with this grain please give me some insight that I'm not getting by reading grain profiles? I guess I could get some Vienna too- but I'm Not really looking to spend too much more money!
Thanks for any comments!
