Alright everyone! I am getting married October 5, 2012. In honor of the wedding I am planning on brewing an Oktoberfest style beer. I will be getting some labels made and having them at the wedding, sharing them with friends and family, etc.
I am definitely going to be needing help with the recipe. Please point me in the right direction on some good 5 gallon, all-grain recipes.
Also, I have been researching different recipes and am starting to get the picture that I am going to have to do some lagering on this style of a beer. I was hoping to get into lagering eventually anyways, so another question I have is, if I want to buy a mini-fridge for my lagering facility, what size mini-fridge will I need to get to fit my fermentation bucket? It's a standard 6.5 gallon.
Lastly, will an Oktoberfest style brew last for a year or so? I am hoping to cellar a couple of the bottles so that my future wife and I can share while eating that 1 year-anniversary cake piece. If it can last that long, any tips on cellaring the brew to make it last?
