(M)Oktoberfest – Brewing an Oktoberfest Ale with Wyeast 1007

[pghsince72]

I can't ferment a lager but I can make an Oktoberfest inspired ale. I took a traditional Marzen recipe and used Wyeast German Ale 1007. It turned out great. Has anyone else tried doing this?

I've done lagers fermented at 18c with 34/70 another option glad you had success.

Thanks! It's definitely something I'm going to try again.

I did one with S-04 English yeast. It was okay, but it really wasn't as clean and ester-free as I would have liked.

I thought a California Common lager yeast was a little higher fermenting temperature? I thought i read that somewhere, but i could be mistaken. You could also do a lagered ale as well.

sorry, im a little late to the party on this thread!

Kolsch yeast has a wide fermentation range and I've had good luck with it. Wyeast 2565 is a good choice for many different styles. It might be another good option.
