Top Notch Beer!

My Beer-Buddy and I brewed this 10 gal batch on 9-30-10 and pitched the yeast on 10-01-10 after the wort was at fermentation temp (50*F). After 30 long days of waiting and not knowing what to expect, we finally kegged all 10 gallons of it. All 10 gallons were cold-crashed and 5 gallons were plate-filtered. This was not our first rodeo and we are fairly picky about our beer. The Cold-crashed beer was a FANTASTIC home brew-style beer. It was clear with a very smooth mouth-feel and a classic Oktoberfest taste. The Filtered batch was a FANTASTIC Professional-style beer that was crystal clear and was smooth as milk. The Flavor was fantastic in both batches and we will be brewing this one again soon, Oktoberfest or not! Great Recipe!
One of the best

This is one of the absolute best beers I have brewed. I usually stick to stouts and porters, but I decided to try this for a Novemberfest we were having at the house. Everybody loved this beer (they had 4 others on tap to choose from) because they drank more of this than anything else, including 1 commercial beer. I am going to be brewing this one again soon because we drank all 10 gallons! Great Recipe!
I wish a had a bigger kettle...

...so I could brew this beer too! When I found the original recipe it was for 10 a gallon batch, so I used beer tools to see what the grain bill for 5 gallons would look like. 11 pounds is too big for my 6 gallon kettle, so I am biding my time until I can afford to upgrade. Looks like it will be worth the wait.
