White LabsWLP820Octoberfest/Märzen Lager
This yeast produces a very malty, bock like style. It does not finish as dry as WLP830. This yeast is much slower in the first generation than WLP830, so we encourage a larger starter to be used the first generation or schedule a longer lagering time.
Notes

I was very hesitant on putting this recipe on here because this is my ace but I have received several good changes to other brews of mine because of this site, so here you go. This has a very unique taste to it because of the Crystal and Vienna mix “mixes very well”. The brew is a slightly sweet woody taste with a clean finish and the hop’s bitterness complements the full body of the brew. I have brewing this for 2 years to get the calculation just right and have entered this brew in the longshot challenge “keeping fingers crossed”. If you brew please let my know how you like it.

typo question

I was wondering if there is a typo in the procedure section. Did you mean "starts" when you typed strats? I am really excited to brew this beer and wondered if you have any suggestions for a first time brewer. Thanks.
ya type-o

Yes its starts and no have fun with this one it real easy to do, its all in the brew notes for you. It is a hoppy beer so if you don't want it that bitter low the first hop time 10 minutes. Let me know how it comes out.
