Great Dane Amber Lager
Dark American Lager • Extract • 5 gal
Add 1-2 lbs. of honey at the beginning of the boil depending on how sweet you like your beer. I added 2 pounds and it came out to be fairly sweet and it was reminiscent of Honeymoon which is brewed by Blue Moon. The WL 820 takes a long time (4-5 days) to get started. Let it ferment for about 1 month and then age for about 3-4 weeks. Very nice malty flavor. I tapped it during the spring and it gives a very nice compliment to the nice weather.

White Labs WLP820 Octoberfest/Märzen Lager
White Labs WLP820 Octoberfest/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.
