From the looks of the bottle labels removed, it appears that my favorite beer over the past few years has been a nice Oktoberfest. Found a nice Marzen Oktoberfest in Green Bay a few weeks ago.

We brewed it today and everything went very well. Hope it turns out. Stay tuned.

Our first batch in the new fermenter did not turn out very well. No fermentation. The sample bottles had a little fizz when uncapped. They had a nice color, but no alcohol. Smooth start, tasteless middle and no ending taste. 😛

We tried to recreate our steps to determine what went wrong. We narrowed down to how we applied the yeast. We believe the yeast starved.

So, we dumped it out. A sad moment.
