This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while and this site great with so much information. This is my seventh batch and first lager. Anyway, I've got a Oktoberfest fermentation issue I need help with...
First off, I don't have lagering capabilities. That being said, the wife still wanted an Oktoberfest. I thought I bought the AHS Oktoberfest/Marzen Partial Mash kit, however when it arrived I found out I ordered the Imperial version kit. So I tried anyway...
Yeast: White Labs Oktoberfest/Marzen Lager 820 (no starter, doubled pitched)
OG measured at 1.085 on 7/28/12
Been fermenting at 72F since in the primary
Measured SG today at 1.022 and it's stopped fermenting
Beer tasted sweet and astringent and very cloudy
What should I do? Transfer to secondary, re-pitch with something else, let it sit?
Help would be appreciated. Thanks!
