Brewers Best: Oktoberfest home brewing kit final product review C- A: 4.5/5 I really like the way this looks. The color turned out exactly as I had hoped. Amber body with red and yellow edges, white fluffy yeasty head. Little CO2 nucleation. S: 1/5 It doesn’t really smell like beer, and doesn’t smell good at all. Fruit + Yeast + Alcohol – malts – hops. T: 2/5 Light hop character, dominated by fruity esters and alcohol. Malts are basically indistinguishable. Easy to drink, but no real strong notes. M: 3/5 Light bodied, crisp, nothing special. Great Lakes Christmas Ale clone home brew review A- Recipe 1lb 40L Crystal Malt 1lb wheat malt 1lb lager malt 3oz roasted barley 8oz Dingemans Belgian Special B 145L 8oz 20L Muntins Carpls Malt 7lb light malt extract 2 oz cascade hops @ 60 mins .25 oz cascade @ 30 mins 1 oz fuggles @ 30 mins 1 oz Kent Goldings @ 15 mins 1 oz fuggles 1st dryhop 1 oz cascade 2nd dryhop 2 lbs honey 2 tbs cinnamon 2 tbs ginger 2 cinnamon sticks throughout fermentation Note* Priming sugar: If you are using corn sugar, do not use more than 8 oz per 5 gal. I prefer corn sugar to cane sugar because I think that cain sugar sweetens the beer to much.
Video Rating: 5 / 5

    No, I meant what Oktoberfest festivals? I put up a few clips of some that I’ve been to: the Cannstatter Volkfest Verein and the United German-Hungarian Club’s are the biggest around here, but I’ve heard of others.

    What’s up, fellow PA German beer reviewer? I’m down in King of Prussia. What Oktoberfests do you go to in Strasburg?
