Oktoberfest All Grain Kit

O.G: 1058 / Ready: 2 months

We've all seen the pictures—hundreds of happy Germans, tubas and pretzels galore, sitting under a big tent wearing leather shorts and hoisting huge steins of the luscious amber lager known as Oktoberfest. Typified by breweries such as Paulaner and Spaten in Munich, the world capital of beer, Oktoberfest originates from the time when brewing in the summer was illegal in Germany. Brewmasters concocted a beer that was a little on the strong side, and stored cold through the warm months, to be broken out in time for fall and harvest celebrations. Our kit will give you a malty, orange-colored lager that's great for any time of year.
