Paulaner Oktoberfest Recipe

[user 246304]

Yakimavalleyhops.com has tradition… Yakima valley hops definitely has the highest quality hops on the market no doubt. Extremely fast shipping too usually only takes a day for them to show up. I haven’t heard of that yeast but I’m sure it will be fine, I’ve tried other yeasts with this recipe and it surprisingly changes it a lot the closest I’ve found is wlp838 but definitely try that yeast and see how you like it! And they switched to using only Hallertau tradition in 2022

Have to say, Tradition is what I used in my last festbier....and I absolutely love it. One of the most successful beers I've ever brewed actually, and that's saying something because I am 90% an ale brewer.

Oh it’s definitely available online, but I was referring to locally. I just stocked up at a somewhat local HBS on German hops but they didn’t have Tradition. Looking at the substitutes and the flavor wheel Tradition and Mittelfureh are so very close-I’m sure it’ll be a great Festbier with either-but I’m not paying shipping for a couple oz of hops, I really stocked up on most things I need so it would be a lone order.

The Omega 107 Octoberfest lager yeast in comparison to WLP838 seems like the same or so close to not make any difference when I look at all of the details available for them.

2022 huh, the website is 2 years out of date then, either intentionally or unintentional.

Thanks for the reply and the work on this for us.

Well I was in a neighboring city and had time to stop at a homebrew shop I know of and low and behold they has just gotten in some Tradition hops, so I picked up 6, 1 oz packs. I'll use them for the aroma (10 min) addition, but I still might bitter with Herkules to save some of the Tradition for more recipes. I've been drinking Paulaner's Festbier for years and liked it prior to 2022 so that was the Herkules recipe, so its worth a try for me.. I can always make another with just Tradition later if I want.
