Trying to decide between brewing this and a traditional Oktoberfest or Vienna Lager. I only have one carboy and room in my fridge for lagering one batch at a time, and I've been doing Oktoberfests for the past couple of years, but I might try this one this year.

It is a fantastic recipe. I have been hording my current batch. Are you thinking of brewing it soon and lagering until the fall? This one did great at 10 weeks for me.

I am. Last year I brewed my Oktoberfest in March and lagered it in my fridge until Oktoberfest party in the fall. It was worth the wait, but if I do that it means no lagering for 6 months, so no summer pilsner, no munich dunkel, etc. I guess I could buy another carboy and just lager at cellar temps.

Ahh I've been meaning to try doing well that. Maybe next year.

Brewed this this morning. Came out ok, horrible efficiency because of my crappy CBS system, but it tastes great! had some 2206 I will use with it... used Magnum for bittering and Hal for the other two additions...
