Rye in Oktoberfest?
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2015 12:25 pm
Hi All,
I'm just about at the bottom of my sack of maris otter, so I think it is time to transition to german lagers from english ales. I was thinking about starting out with an oktoberfest, and maybe putting some rye in there. My recipe thoughts were something like:
5lb pilsner
4lb munich 10
1lb rye malt
8oz caramunich
1oz Mt. Hood @ 60
0.5oz Mt. Hood @ 15
Then use wyeast 2308 Munich Lager since that is the lager yeast I have used the most and have some experience with how it behaves.
Thoughts, comments? More/less rye? More/less caraXXX (munich, vienna, pils etc)?
Thanks,
-Nate
