Thinking of doing a SMaSH Oktoberfest sometime soon. Would Vienna or Munich serve better as the malt for this recipe? Hop to be used is probably going to be Spalt Select.
For a single malt I would go with Munich. I fear 100% Vienna would be a little plain.

Been there. Done that. Maris Otter.

I thought ofest was traditionally 100% vienna. Maybe it was denny who said that? I seem to recall a 5 year old thread.... likely nb forum.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but brewing at ale temps with an ale yeast should give you an.... ale?
