Beer Recipe Kit - Oktoberfest Ale All Grain
Due to seasonal availability, hops and grains may be substituted if necessary.
If whole or crushed option is not defined, it will be defaulted to crushed.
This is a crisp, amber lager that’s a little stronger than most. Historically, Oktoberfest was a Märzenbier (March Beer) brewed in Spring, and drank in late September as a festbier. It was stored in cold cellars and caves through the summer which helped it to be clean and crisp with bright appearance. The beer was a little stronger and hoppier than most other lagers to ensure it survived the long summer. This beer has low to medium hop bitterness with a malty aroma. Serve the beer cool with German sausage & sauerkraut for maximum enjoyment.
