Hello Gents,
I am busy planning my next two brews and could use some advice. I am planning an Oktoberfest Ale and a Golden Ale.
1: Oktoberfest Ale: I have fallen in love with the Three Stags beer called Old Mule(oktoberfest ale) and would like to attempt to re-create it. "A traditional copper Oktoberfest lager style beer loaded with speciality malts and fermented like an English ale! A medium roasted aroma with a rich malt forward and slightly sweet finish. 5.3% ABV" I assume this is fermented with an Lager/Marsen yeast and very little noble hops to aid to the sweet finish.
I would be surprised if it is fermented with a Lager yeast. I am not too sure where to start with this beer. It is a great beer really worth a try when on tap. I am just struggling to determine what yeast it would use, I generally do not like anything done with a Lager yeast (bit of a broad statement) but most of the recipes I am finding use some type of Lager/Marsen yeast.
2: Golden Ale: I had a "Golden Blonde Ale"(as listed) from De Garve brewery which I really enjoyed. Low bitterness, a bit sweet and an ABV of 4.5%. From what I have been reading that is closer to a Belgian Blonde but I may be incorrect. Slightly more malty and darker than a normal Blonde it seemed. I am kind of leaning to THIS recipe, but I may be way off the mark. Seems
Any advise would be very much appreciated.
