Hey all! I can't remember if this is a recipe I came up with earlier this year or if it was pulled from another site. Either way I'll be putting in the grain order for this and the Marzen on Friday. I have almost all the accessible White Labs homebrew lager strains (outside of wlp820 and wlp833) and Omega Bayern (Augustiner). I have not used wlp838 yet and thought that may be a touch too malty for this batch. I've never knowingly had Festbier and have read the guidelines. I'd prefer to not decoct and do not mind step mashes. I also build water profiles using RO water and Bruin Water. Was thinking of using the Pilsen profile but am open to a profile that may better fit this style. Anywho here's the recipe. Any input, or pointers, would be greatly appreciated!
