Note on my water: use 8 gallons of spring water. Water needs to be a mineral soft water for this style. Will use local tap to do my second sparge. I'm adjusting my grains to fit my efficiency.
he Real Oktoberfest Beer
A blonde lager is what is served at the true Oktoberfest.
DAVE CARPENTER
The Real Oktoberfest Beer Primary Image
Saturday, September 16, marked the official start of Munich’s 2017 Oktoberfest. Taking place over the course of two weeks, the world-famous party will end on Tuesday, October 3, and is expected to draw more than 6 million visitors from around the globe. While it’s best known as a beer-fueled celebration of Bavarian culture, the original Oktoberfest was actually a glorified wedding reception.
On October 12, 1810, the future king of Bavaria, Crown Prince Ludwig, was married to Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen. Somewhat unusually for royal weddings, a large public festival was held in a meadow near the gates of the city of Munich. Everyone had such a great time that they decided to make it an annual thing, and, this being Bavaria, it wasn’t long before beer overshadowed the premiere event’s nuptial nature. (As for Ludwig, he would go on to have numerous extramarital affairs, author some spectacularly uninspired poetry, and abdicate the throne in shame.)
Today’s Oktoberfest takes place in the very same meadow, called the Theresienwiese, which means “Therese’s meadow.” In the local dialect, both the meadow and the festival itself are known as the Wies’n.
The beer Americans most associate with Oktoberfest celebrations is, naturally, Oktoberfest beer. But, as any beer nerd who has made the pilgrimage to Munich in late September will tell you, the beer served at the festival is a blonde lager, not the amber Oktoberfest beer we all know and love.
ADVERTISEMENT
What we think of as Oktoberfest beer in the United States is, strictly speaking, a Märzenbier, or “March beer.” Traditionally brewed in March, this malty amber lager would have been stored away in caves to sustain the thirsty masses throughout the summer. Come fall, any remaining Märzen would have been consumed to free up barrels for the new season’s beers.
What is actually served on the Wies’n today is, however, more like a hefty Helles or a mild Maibock than the historic Märzenbier. It’s specially brewed just for the celebration and is called, appropriately enough, Festbier. Rather than highlight the toasted flavors of Munich and Vienna malts, Festbier’s bready Pils malt and well-balanced noble hops character offer the ideal accompaniment to Obatzda (a cheese spread made from Camembert), Schweinshaxe (roasted pork knuckle), and big-as-your-face pretzels.
Festbier can be somewhat hard to come by outside Munich, as it’s seldom packaged for export. But if you can’t find a good commercial example, you can always brew one yourself any time of year. Just start with your favorite Helles recipe, bump up the base malt until you hit an original gravity in the neighborhood of 1.055–1.060, and increase the bittering hops addition somewhat to compensate.
The recipe below is based on Helles I Know, a Munich Helles featured originally in the Fall 2014 issue of Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®. Carefully brewed and lovingly lagered for six or more weeks, all it needs to round it out is an oom-pah band and your finest Lederhosen or Dirndl.

Notes: - Brewed on 9/15/18
- Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.049
- Initial PH was 6.0 (didn't add any lactic acid at outset of mash), added 3ml of lactic acid and second reading was 5.8, added 3 more ml of lactic acid and reading was 5.7, added 2 more ml of lactic acid and final reading was 5.6. Not sure why PH drops minimally with lactic acid additions. Might need to re-calibrate PH meter. **Update. Think my issue was not mixing the lactic acid with the water prior to doughing in.
- Mash temp settled at ~152F
- Hit 12.7 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.051 vs. 1.049 target so 79% mash efficiency vs. 76% expected
- Original gravity reading was 15.5 plato which converts to 1.063 vs. 1.066 expected.
- After boil had ~X.XX? gallons in the kettle and ~5.75 gallons made it into the fermenter
- Pitched 1 smack pack of wyeast 1335; started fermentation at 65F.
- Still some very small airlock activity 2 weeks later! Starting to do a small cold crash to stop fermentation so I can package and see where attenuation ended up. Might need to adjust pitch rate for next batch to speed up fermentation process.
- Packaged on 9/29/18, FG reading was 1.015 vs. 1.016 expected so 76% vs. 75% expected attenuation

| Notes: Coriander and Orange Peal added for last 10 minutes of boil. Messed up temp at mash and went way high - contributed to higher OG - but it didn't matter. Racked into a keg and set at 30 psi for two days then dropped to 12 psi and served after more days. This was an AMAZING beer. Was gone at a small party in less than 90 minutes. Just refreshing, crisp with some good banana and clove. |
