This famous German style is stronger than an everyday lager and is the fuel for Oktoberfest celebrations all over the world. The original pre-industrial Oktoberfest was called Märzenbier, brewed at the end of the brewing season in the spring to be lagered in caves all summer for fall and harvest festivities. Our kit will give you a full-bodied and elegant red-amber beer with a subdued German noble hop bitterness and complex malty profile that great all year round.
Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.
In the middle of the brew process but looking forward to final product.

Octoberfest batch
The batch was a breeze to brew. Fermentation was excellent. Lagering now so I won't know for another 2 months.

Kale
Brewed/Aged as an Ale
The Oktoberfest kit is recommended to brew as a lager but I brewed and aged it like an ale…..mostly because I’m too impatient to wait 1-2 months for it to “lager”. It’s one of my favorites….with a deep, rich flavor. I kegged it roughly 14 days after brewing. Loved it and got rave reviews from friends/family.
