I'm planning on making an Oktoberfest with ale yeast here shortly.
I'm making 2 batches, one with Wyeast 1084 and the other with either WLP011 of Wyeast 1338.
Any opinions on which yeast would be better? I have read a lot on here about how slow wyeast 1338 is...would wlp011 be any faster?
Here is the recipe if any is interested.
6gal
OG 1.054
FG 1.016 (wyeast 1338 or wlp011) 1.014 Wyeast 1084
12.02 SRM
4.9 % ABV
4 Pilsner
4 Vienna
3 Munich 10
1 Melanoidin
1 White Wheat
25-26 IBU
.5 oz hal tradition 6.3% aa 60 min
.5 oz hal 4.3% aa 60 min
.5 oz tettnanger 3.5% aa 10 min
