Brewer's Notes

Oktoberfest beers are classic German lagers, which are fermented with traditional lager yeast at controlled cool-temperatures (approximately 50 -58F). With modern strains of special lager yeast, you can also ferment lagers at warmer room temperatures (approximately 58 - 68F) and produce the classic lager characteristics.

• If you will be fermentating cool at the traditional lager temperatures (approximately 50 -58F), then select either the Saflager W-34/70 dried lager yeast or the Wyeast 2206 Bavarian lager yeast. If you will be fermenting cool, we highly recommend making a yeast starter.
• If you will be fermentating at the warmer room temperatures (approximately 58 - 68F), then select either the Mangrove Jack's dried California lager yeast or the Wyeast 2112 California lager yeast.
