I feel like if you're a home brewer, there are a few things you HAVE to make every year:
1. A holiday/spiced beer for Christmas or the fall
2. An Oktoberfest
Here's what mine looked like. And I say lookED, because that keg is KICKED!
As you can see, it's a little cloudy, but I'm really thrilled with how it turned out.
One of the reasons I hadn't made an Oktoberfest before this year was that I didn't have any way to lager the beer (fermenting at low temperatures like 55F). And I still don't, but I waited until the weather cooled off and the house was under 65 during the day and I dare say it worked!
I'm really disappointed that this beer is gone. It's probably the best Oktoberfest I've ever had!
P.S. I totally cheated on this one, I went with a recipe kit from my favorite home brew store, Keystone. Go pick it up!
