    Homegrown Cascade Pale Ale- Grassy

    So I brewed a Homegrown Cascade Pale Ale which came out great.....aside from some very grassy notes. Its only been 2 weeks in the bottles so i'm hoping some of this grassy flavor fades a bit. What are the chances that it'll totally mellow? I'm guessing the grassy aroma is from a too early...

    Oktoberfest Recipe

    Just wondering if I could get some input/suggestions on my Okotberfest extract recipe before I get this brewing.
