I want to try my hand at creating an Oktoberfest style lager recipe. I've found plenty of established recipes, but, I thought lets jump into the deep end of the pool and try to come up with my own. Worse comes to worse, it should still be drinkable, and that's how I learn. This will also be my 1st attempt at a lager. I do have modified freezer so laggering at low temps will not be an issue. Without further ado, here's my proposed recipe. Feel free to let me know if I'm way off base, I do not have any brew software assistance and I was just playing with ideas.
Fermentables: 3.15lbs Maillard Munich LME, 3.15lbs Maillard Pilsen LME, 1lb Briess Carapils, 1lb Caramunich
Hops: 1oz Hallertau pellets (60min boil) Yeast: Wyeast Oktoberfest lager
 
Sorry, I fat fingered the keyboard.

Fermentables: 3.15lbs Maillard Munich LME, 3.15lbs Maillard Pilsen LME, 1lb Briess Carapils malt, 1lb Weyermann Caramunich

Hops: 1oz Hallertau pellet (60min boil)

Yeast: Wyeast Oktoberfest Lager (probably make a 1 pint starter)

I will steep the grains, and plan on pitching the yeast at 50ish degrees and then lower it to the upper forties. I will later lager it in the 30's for 3-4 months
 
You have 2 identical posts in this forum. I would delete this one so it doesn't get confusing. I posted in your other one, but a 1 pint starter is WAY too small for a lager. Cheers!
