im hitting my volumes but not my gravities im still a little high

A good situation to be in there. Can make more or use less malt I guess. Recipe looks fine as well, although Doc might be worried by the amount of late hops you are using. :p Are you really using US Cluster?
 
ive just adjusted the program i use to calculate to use the higher efficiency. as for the recipe i only changed the base malt to pilsner and the bittering to super pride from magnum, besides i dont mind cluster.
 
Busy day today got both of these made and in fermenters. Started at 7am fininshed at 1:30pm not to bad i thought

Brewing on Saturday but thought i would throw the recipe out a few days prior since its the first time i have attempted to brew something outside my comofrt zone (not that i dont like having a constant supply of golden ale and landlord.....)

I have a wyeast 2000 yeast cake ready to use.

I have several kgs of weyermann vienna.

I have a pack of NS flowers.

Cant see why the combo wouldnt work but calling it an Oktoberfest is probably stretching the friendship...

Any thoughts/comments/criticisms?
