Notes: - Brewed on 2/20/21
- Mash water = 4.6 gallons (17.4 liters)
- Sparge water = 3.36 gallons (12.8 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 26 liters.
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (at expanded wort volume) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.049
- Mash temp settled right at ~152F
- Hit 11.2 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.045 vs. 1.049 target so 77% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons (after wort cools) so boil-off tool estimates 1.054 OG, Actual original gravity reading was 13.0 plato which converts to 1.053 vs 1.054 expected. Extended boil to 90 minutes to try and make up some gravity points.
- After boil had ~22.25 liters or ~5.94 gallons in the kettle and ~5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter.
- Pitched yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 64F,
- Packaged on 3/3/21, batch #51, FG was 1.013 (at 70F) which converts to 1.014 so 73% attenuation vs 75% avg. and 75% expected
- Fill keg to 52.05 pounds = (1.014FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.74 (empty keg weight). I had to tilt fermenter at 51.5 but was able to get to 52.05.

Notes: * 10 min hop stand med siste humletilsetning.

* 5 liter trub etter koking igjen i kjele, "filtrerte bort" under overføring til kar.

* Restene av saazen jeg hadde igjen som siste addition, 35g, mye for stilen men vi får se.

* Prøver bakepulver før keging. 2 gram per liter?

Notes: Used a double decoction mash process. Approx 30% first decoction - thick, 40 % second decoction, thin.

Very long process. Basically an extra 2 hours for mash time. Heated mash tun for a few minutes after each decoction to elevate temp to target level after each step.

Chilled to 73 deg in approx 10 min with wort chiller.

Agitated and pitched yeast. 7:30 pm.

Fermentation had started when checked at 9:00 am next morning.

Fermentation set kegerator @65 deg.

Notes: ==============================
update 01/23/2020
despite the improvement notes below, I'm planning to rebrew this as is in the next week or so. For NHC possibly.

==============================
update 12/5/2019.
This brew won gold medal at GRIST homebrew contest in northern VA. https://comp.gristhomebrew.com/

Listening to homebrewhappyhour episode with Rob from Pixel Perfect Brewing, he highlights a couple things that he says helped his octoberfest. fermenting under pressure, and decoction mash. he actually did the decoction on an extract brew with specialty grains. also he did 6 weeks conditioning.

this brew i thought was really good as is, and it was indeed a gold medal winner. but possibly adding these three techniques could make it even better. push it to BOS status.

also, judges said it was low carbonation and needs more head retention. touche.
==============================
altered from Drew's March Beer from sept 2019 byo. i changed the hops to get rid of first wort hop addition and to use a single hop, in even oz amount. confirmed recipe uses 1.5 qt/lb mash. the MUNICH/OKTOBERFEST YEASTS REQUIRE DIACETYL REST. if wyeast 2308 yeast not available, check for WLP820 oktoberfest/marzen. Or for simpler wyeast 2124 bohemian lager, WLP833 german bock, Wyeast 2206 Bavarian lager (i might have some of this from last year?)

for diacetyl rest, copied from virginia lager recipe :
going to do byo fast ferment approach janFeb2017. reread but start at 44-50 let fermentation go 50% then (remove the probe from the fermentor let it reach ambient temp then...?) raise temp 5 degrees every 12 hours til you get to 65-68. once you get 100% you can crank down to lager temp for 3-5 days then you done. this will take care of diacetyl rest and apparently gets the lager completely done in 2-3 weeks.
