This recipe kit DOES NOT include yeast, priming sugar or grain bags. However, we do give you yeast options at the top of the page. This recipe was designed using Wyeast Oktoberfest Blend 2633. Other yeasts will lead to slightly different final gravities that are determined by the yeast's attenuation level. For example, using the alternative yeast suggestion White Labs WLP820 will lead to a higher FG around 1.023.

Yeast Pitch Rate: We highly recommend preparing a yeast starter or using 2 packets of yeast for this recipe due to the high original gravity (OG) in order to keep the yeast happy and healthy.

Priming Sugar: For priming sugar, we recommend the following:

Grain Bags: If you need a grain bag, we recommend the following:

* We strongly recommend adding an ice pack when ordering liquid yeast. Transit times can vary and liquid yeast works best when it remains cold until the day you brew.
