(M)Oktoberfest – Brewing an Oktoberfest Ale with Wyeast 1007

Traditional Oktoberfest beers are lagers. But there’s no reason you can’t take an Oktoberfest recipe and use Ale yeast. Which is exactly what I’ve done here. It was my first experience with Wyeast German Ale yeast. A yeast I will definitely use again. This was also the very fist beer that I kegged.


As you’ll see in the video I cam out with a side project IPA using the extra wort and .75# of DME. It turned out great. Much better than I expected.

I hope this encourages you to not dump your extra wort. You can still make a great beer out of it with some help.

15 Minute Kitchen Sink Hoppy Wheat Tasting and Review

This one comes down to me not liking WB-06 yeast. It leaves a really strong hefeweizen flavor that I just don’t enjoy. The beer on it’s own isn’t bad. It came out exactly how I would expect for an extract brew. Very clear and middle-of-the-road. There’s nothing special going on with this. I’ll make other extract brews in the future. Just not with WB-06.


Check out the brew day for this one to view the recipe and additional details.

Let’s see what happens when I mix together all of the dry malt extract from the beer closet. Will it create something great or become a disaster?
