Not sure if y'all saw this in the FBD thread 2 days ago, but I cracked a bottle of my Oktoberfest after 2.5 weeks under carbonation.
But, this beer is shaping up nicely. Beautiful color, nice malt flavor with slight hop bitterness. I submitted this beer into the Robert's Cove competition at well, but it did not perform well. I bottled it and 3 days later shipped it out, and it did not have time to carbonate before judging, i believe.
But, I carb'd it after lagering, without adding any fresh yeast. Talking with Keith over at LA Homebrew and he said it will carbonate, but will take longer without adding some yeast to before bottling. So, i'm about 3 weeks in, and hopefully in 2 more weeks, this beer will be ready to handout to those that want some.

Damn, that's a pretty beer.
I don't know if I'd ever brew an oktoberfest unless I had a sure fire way to get rid of the keg.
Paulaner Oktoberfest used to be one of my 'go to' fall beers, but recent I ordered a Ayinger Oktoberfest at the Chimes and it was so malty sweet that it was borderline cloying. I got about half way through it and gave up.
