Started drinking an Oktoberfest I brewed 3 weeks ago, came out as my best lager type beer so far.
I pressure fermented it at 19c and 28psi.
It has fermented very clean and carbonation is perfect, clarity is probably 8/10 but I did not add gelatine and it's only three weeks since brewed. Clear enough for me anyhow.
