Bottled more Oktoberfest, and my Pumpkin and Spice Steam Beer this weekend.

The 'Pumpkin Steam' as I call it is reaaaalllyyy good. Tasted it before bottling and realized it needed more spice (barely detectable). Also decided to add some lactose as it was pretty dry, the lactose increasing sweetness and creamy taste/mouthfeel which are obvious characteristics of pumpkin pie. So I added more spice and lacotse to the bottling bucket, and it tasted perfect. The spice was maybe a little strong, but it was not cold and carb'd, and the spice should settle down in a few weeks (when it's time to drink). Pumpkin pie in a glass hopefully.

Brewed a standard hefe' as well, which is fermenting away on the cool side to minimize the banana (which wife does not enjoy).
