Notes

This is a pretty true Oktoberfest lager without the lager yeast.

Noting to not use gypsum here and max 4 grams of calcium chloride in the mash. (to maintain a high malty flavor).

Ideally this should involve decoction mashing of boiling the mash for 20 minutes at the end. Not doing that. As usual, I will mash for around 90 minutes and fly sparge takes about 30 more until I've drained out pre-boil volumes.

In fermenter I will add 64 oz of apple juice, or last time I used one or two frozen juice concentrates.That adds less volume to get the apple in there.

I added about 3 or 4 cinnamon sticks to the secondary.
