I am looking for a good extract October fest beer kit.There are quiet a few out there, has anyone tried them if so what did you think of the kit the taste .Suggestions on kits?
Thanks
I have an old frig and I made a temp. control for and will use that. I been looking at the kits from Northern brewer and Midwest. You catch it with a 15-20% off not to bad a price. I really like to find the taste I had when I went to the Octoberfest in Germany years ago.
Thanks all for the info.
Jordan is correct. There have been quite a few threads over the past couple of years questioning why our 'American Oktoberfest' is reddish, malty and usually with an ABV around 6ish while the current version of 'German Oktoberfest' is yellow, less malty, and with an ABV around 5ish. Of course the german version is easier drinking and you can put larger quantities away (ie. they can sell more!), but I've read some posts that indicate that our version may be more like what it was originally. Personally, when I make mine, I'm shooting to match Sam Adams Oktoberfest which I absolutely love (should be coming out pretty soon!)
I think I will make both and then make up my mind.
