JZ's Oktoberfest

Brewing Processes
1

Hi Eveyone! I am planning on brewing JZ’s Oktoberfest recipe from Brewing Classic Styles this weekend. Instead of using WL820 (Oktoberfest) yeast, I am using WLP830. My question is, WLP830 gives a bit more attenuation bring my estimated FG from 1.015 to 1.011. Not huge but a little worried about drying the beer out a little too much. So, should I a) bump up the mash temp a bit maybe from 151 to say 154. b) Ferment at a lower temp like 47ish c) both d) don’t worry about it  ;D

Thanks!

I would vote d, but I am willing to hear the arguments for the first two (especially how you would know how to measure the outcomes of those approaches).

e) All of the above. ::slight_smile:

don’t worry about it or change anything… there is a negligible difference between the two, you won’t be able to tell.
