Oktoberfest / Marzen All Grain Recipe

This is another seasonal favorite. A keg of this stuff goes empty quick.

Just bought this one again (all-grain) and will be brewing it soon for Octoberfest! Yes, we've brewed this one in the past and it is definitely worth brewing again. With its complex malty flavors and perfect drinkability, this one has become a fall tradition in our home - Cheers!

After doing some research on how to brew an Oktoberfest, I found that this recipe was very close to what I was considering. I love a good Oktoberfest, and this kit made one. Use Wyeast 2124 at ale temp around 62F and raised it to 68F after several days to finish up. Did a cold crash/lager for about a week, fining with gelatin. I bottled using low oxygen technique priming in a keg and filling bottles with a counter-pressure filler. Results were outstanding. Check the Brulosophy website for reducing cold side oxidation and warm lager technique.

This beer was the third one I ever made and Oktoberfests are my favorite beer. This beer turned out great, easy to drink and taste amazing. I prefer Adv in Homebrewing over other places for my recipe and ingredients. The instructions are clear to a inexperience brewer like me, much clearer than other place.

I'm enjoying this beer. I BIAB, so I made my water adjustments. I kind of missed my OG, so the beer wasn't as high on the ABV. None the less, still a great tasting Oktoberfest. I also went with the smack pack yeast. Recommended.
