Oktoberfest Ale Beer Recipe Kit

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

• Pilsen dry malt extract
• Mt. Hood / Perle hop blend (bittering)
• Specialty steeping grains
• Standard ale yeast
• Grain steeping bag
• Sanitizer packet

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 1-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Oktoberfest Ale is simple and well-suited for brewers with equipment:

• Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops for balance
• Ferment: Ferment the base beer until clean and stable
• Condition: Age the beer cold after carbonation to develop a smoother finish
• Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Cold conditioning after fermentation helps replicate traditional aging methods and enhances the beer’s clean, malty character.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

• Homebrewers who already own brewing equipment
• Brewers interested in traditional European-inspired beer styles
• Fans of malt-forward, balanced ales
• Seasonal brewers looking for a classic fall-style beer

Because it follows a traditional style, it’s a great option for brewers who enjoy classic, time-tested recipes.
