Oktoberfest

[robh]

I got this recipe from my LHBS and I'm making a double batch today. I've made it with Muntons Gold yeast before and with S-04 another time - both with good results.

Oktoberfest

3.3 lb Muntons light LME
3.3 lb Muntons amber LME
1/8 lb Crystal malt
1/2 lb light Munich malt
1oz Hallertau (45 minutes)
1oz Tettnang (45 minutes)
1tsp Irish Moss (15 minutes)
Muntons Gold yeast

3.3 Briess Munich Liquid Extract
3lb Briess Pilsen Light DME
2lb Munich Malt Grain (mini Mash)
2lb American 2row (mini mash)
30min ___1_oz 9.2__AA% Pellet Type: German Northern Brewer
30min ___1_oz 3.2__AA% Pellet Type: Hallertau Mittelfruh

10min ___1_oz 3.2__AA% Pellet Type: Hallertau Mittelfruh

Oktoberfest lager Yeast WLP820

i guess the question i have is should i take half of it and make a Hop-toberfest version ? i know it's not truely an oktoberfest and with american 2 row it's already a b@stardized version. also how long for lager yeast in a primary ?

If you lager it real good and slow, and thorough, it would be ready right around September/October which would make it as traditional as you could. Don't sweat it! Take your time and enjoy!
