This Oktoberfest Ale 5 Gallon beer recipe kit helps you brew a full-bodied, malty Oktoberfest-style ale with light red color, subtle bitterness, and a clean, dry finish, ready to drink in about four weeks.
  • Makes 5 gallons (approximately 48–54 bottles) of Oktoberfest Ale
  • Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
  • Traditional Oktoberfest-style ale with Munich malt character
  • Ingredient-only 5-gallon beer recipe kit

✅ Beginner-friendly with step-by-step brewing support

The Oktoberfest Ale is a malt-forward beer with rich caramel and toasted malt character, subtle bitterness, and a smooth, clean finish. Munich-style malts create depth and body, while German hops provide balance without dominating the malt profile.

The result is a traditional, approachable Oktoberfest-style ale that’s flavorful, balanced, and well-suited for seasonal brewing.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Oktoberfest Ale at home:

  • 6.25 lb Pilsen dry malt extract
  • Mt. Hood / Perle blend hops (bittering)
  • Steeping grains
  • Grain steeping bag
  • Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Oktoberfest Ale follows a traditional ale process with optional cold aging to enhance malt smoothness:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops
  • Ferment: Ferment with ale yeast until clean and complete
  • Condition: Cold age the beer after carbonation to develop smooth malt character
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

For best results, aging the beer cold for a few additional weeks will help replicate the traditional lagering process historically used for Oktoberfest beers.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of malt-forward, traditional beer styles
  • Homebrewers interested in classic German-inspired ales
  • Drinkers who prefer smooth, balanced beers with subtle sweetness

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is well suited for seasonal brewing, sharing with friends, and serving at fall gatherings.

  • Batch Size: 5 gallons
  • ABV: ~5.5%
  • Style: Oktoberfest Ale
  • Bitterness: Low
  • Color: Light red / amber
  • Yeast: Ale yeast
