I'd like to find a clone of Lakefront Brewery's Oktoberfest beer. I have never done all grain, so I don't know hard it would be to clone this without doing it.
 
I have this one sitting in the primary now. I'm not able to lager, so I went with the WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch yeast. Fermentation seemed to go pretty well, and I'm hoping to bottle it over Labor Day weekend. Here's to hoping it turns out OK! :mug:
 
5.5 gallon batch
1.061/ 1.015/ 11SRM/26ibu

7 lb 2-row
5 lb Dingeman's Munich
10 oz Aromatic
6 oz Caramunich
3 oz Spec B

.3 oz Summit @ 60
1.5 oz Saaz @ 30

Yeast: W34/70 Slurry. Ferment at 52F till airlock activity slows, let it rise to 65F for a couple days. When it drops clear, rack to secondary and lager at 32F for 4-6 weeks or until it tastes good then keg or bottle.

Salts with 100% RO water
Mash: 3g CaCl/ 2g CaSO4
Boil: 2.6 CaCl
Mash pH: 5.4
Mash temp: 155F
