Notes

A perfect 10 gallons topping off both kegs... Maybe a touch too much beer actually.
Flavor is a little off. Don't use German ale yeast again... Malty flavor is there but the yeast gave it a funky "German ale" flavor. Bad yeast choice...
Beer was well recieved at Oktoberfest, however maybe try as a standard Vienna with an American Ale Yeast.
