Hi thanks for post, very informative. I think you should look at the °F to °C conversion, it seems off (by about 10°C).

I'm brewing this next. I've never had an Octoberfest. I love German beer! Helles & Pilsners, Vienna & Munich are my favorites so this is only a little different. Low IBUs & Malty goodness are right up my alley. I just got a new fermentation chamber & this will also put that to work. My focus is less quantity & more quality. Thank you. 😉 So I'm running out of Hallertauer & trying to decide what to combine with it in the flavor category....................... what do you know? Google agrees Tettnanger would be a great choice! 2 months later......... it never won a "Best of Show" because it's good, it's just not great! 🙂 If I'm going to spend 4~5 hours brewing a beer, I want a show stopper!!! Something that will knock my socks off. It's got a good head, it is bready, it is heavy...... remember I like lagers. Mean Brews is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! He's increasing our knowledge base 10x. Thank you.

Yes, my research was all over the place, seems like amounts and splits of Munich and Vienna were just all over. I went with a traditional ish 71% Pilsner blend, 16 Munich, 13 Vienna, half pound of caramunich coming out of the Munich percentage, snuck in two pounds Chevallier in the Pilsner percentage. I’m going w Gordon Strong’s method of 130, rest, raise through the typical German step mash. I’m wondering if any side by sides have been done w raising slowly through, vs boiling water additions to step up directly. Hallertau Will bitter, flavor and aroma for me.

My brew day went great..the beer sample has already cleared, it’s sparkling after a 1 hour, 20 minute boil and rapid chill to just below 50. I’m blessed w very cold tap water this time of year. The color looks lovely, hard to say how it will look in the glass before fermentation, currently not as light as a fest beer, but not nearly as dark as I think a traditional Marzen..I haven’t brewed a lager in years, I pitched just a one liter 24hr starter from a Wyeast Oktoberfest blend smack pak, so far, zippo activity. I do have their Munich lager in the fridge, I’ll hold it in reserve in case it’s not starting to ferment..

Awesome video! Hey I was just looking at the recipe and it says to ferment at 49F or 19C. Although 49F is actually 9.4C, so just wondering which temp to ferment at? Cheers!
