Staghorn on the way!

[daksin]

The funny thing was in restaurant in the airport, my salad was $7, and my bar bill was $21. Typical lunch for me, I guess.

We should party:rockin:

Oh, I uh, like the Staghorn too...

I am about to kick my kegs of the Octoberfest I made in October. Anyone have a recipe they made that came out very Staghorn like? Mine was indeed a great Octoberfest, but it was very similar to traditional versions, not really like Staghorn. I'm looking for grain bill and yeast selection tips if you have any. Thanks! I'm hoping to get this brewed in the next 2 weeks, so I can lager a good 3 months and tap it around October 1st.

Wow here is a thread I did not expect to get rezzed...

This is what I know about NG. They will not share ANY info. with the home brew community. I have tried a few times until I got a reply that basically said that.

In spite I have created an Oktoberfest Ale that I have no idea how it is going to taste. It is still bulk aging. I plan to move the beer soon to an old Hoff-Stevens 1/2 bbl (Yea I have a LOT of this beer.) and naturally carb it in the 1/2 bbl and serve it as a "Real Ale" Oktoberfest possibly on a home made beer engine.

This is my recipe use it if you want, I have no idea how it will turn out... Also, I batch sparge.

My Ofest posted above is still aging however. New Glarus -Staghorn is out today. While I do not agree with putting an Oktoberfest/Marzen style out in August I am still happy to see this one hit the shelves.

P-R-O-S-T!!!!

wow. august.

NG makes great beers. They are one of the largest volume craft brewers in the nation and they only sell to WI.

What does that say about WI?

 

[mjohnson]

Its also my favorite Octoberfest. Many seem kinda cloying. Theirs is so clean and malty. I'll be back in WI in September. Can't wait.

After a whole summer of drinking nothing but pale ale, this was a welcome change to my drinking schedule. Attempting a clone next week using Kolsch yeast.
