Oktoberfest Festbier Flash Brewing® Kit
Oktoberfest Festbier is built around the smooth, malt-forward character of the classic beers traditionally brewed in spring and enjoyed during the fall harvest season. Munich malt provides a toasty, bready core, while Caravienne and Caramunich add a deep copper color with notes of biscuit, light caramel, and subtle toffee.
Hallertau Mittelfrüh is the single hop in this recipe, bringing gentle bitterness and a classic noble hop aroma of light spice and floral herb. The hop character stays restrained and traditional, keeping the focus on the rich German malt profile and easy-drinking balance.
Fermented with Flash Yeast™, this Festbier finishes clean even when fermented warm. The result is a smooth, malt-focused beer that is ready fast—without waiting months for a traditional lager fermentation. For added clarity and depth, a short period of cold conditioning at 40°F is recommended.
Flash Brewing® Kits
Designed for both novice and seasoned homebrewers, these innovative recipe kits allow you to simply mix the ingredients with water and add yeast for fermentation. Flash Brewing® offers a streamlined process that not only saves you valuable time but also simplifies brewing without sacrificing flavor. Say hello to a faster, easier way to craft exceptional beer at home.
Typically, brewing requires you to boil your malt and hops for one hour, followed by another hour for cooling. Flash Brewing® eliminates the need to boil. Our Flash Brewing® malt recipes have been boiled and whirlpooled before they are dried. We then use a HopBite™ shot for bitterness combined with a mix of traditional hop pellets for flavor. Flash Yeast™ starts quickly and consistently produces clean beer that lets the malt and hops shine. The result is a high-quality beer that will absolutely surprise you.
