My first recipe critique. Basically, I'm looking for a nice, malty session type "octoberfest". I'm not going to lager this one, so I'm thinking S-04 or perhaps a white labls kolsch yeast. Probably the S-04. It's a 3 gallon recipe. Do the percentages look about right for what I'm trying to do? I have a decent supply of grains so I can modify it a bit... and I know my efficiency sucks but it is what it is...
