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.

The hops are pellets - never use whole except for my own. Make this recipe 3-4 times a year and have changed the CaraMunich to Vienna and the Munich is 20L. Won more taste tests and events than any othe recipe I've done.
