#67: Oktoberfest Lager

More contest beer. Lager yeasts are next up in terms of expiration date, so I'll be doing two lagers this weekend, and then likely two lagers as soon as these clear the lager fridge. I had a can of Munich LME that I didn't use for another project, so that goes in with the Oktoberfest HME. Hit my OG perfectly. Pretty quick brewday. I didn't have my water chilled enough, so it took a bit longer to cool than anticipated, but otherwise perfectly smooth.

#54: Oktoberfest/Marzen (AG)

First lager (finally) in the fermenter... It was supposed to go in August, but just now finding time to get it done. I guess I'm looking at a Februaryfest, as I'm looking at 5 or so weeks in fermenters, and then at least a few months lagering in the bottle. Used WLP833 (Ayinger), so it should be a nice clean brew...
