]]> A new bier to celebrate Oktoberfest is what the need calls for these days. I recently was gifted some grain and I wanted to put it to the test.

I kept the boil to 60 minutes and forgot to add the hops in until 30 minutes left with the boil. I did a half ounce at 30 and another half of Hersbrucker at 20.

]]> I wanted to re-brew this beer for the new year and didn’t get around to it until February. I kept the boil to 60 minutes and forgot to add the hops in until 30 minutes left with the boil. I did a half ounce at 30 and another half of Hersbrucker at 20. This made for an interesting flavor profile that was very aromatic and made the beer a bit sweeter than usual. I will remember that when I brew something I want to be sweeter and more aromatic. This beer turned out fantastic.

]]> This beer deserved a quick repeat. I let this beer go low and slow for about 8 weeks and it is going to take some time for me to get this into the keg for drinking. I wanted to make sure I had a good lead time on Oktoberfest.

I got this recipe from the award winning Munich Madness listing in Jamil Zainasheff and John J. Palmer’s book Brewing Classic Styles. Named for the German word for Mischief, I made a lot of it while drinking this beer.

]]> In the Spring spirit, I wanted to make a Marzen during a typically illegal time to brew them in Germany. Typically brewed in March, this lager is characterized by the full body malty taste and amber to dark brown color. I got this recipe from the award winning Munich Madness listing in Jamil Zainasheff and John J. Palmer’s book Brewing Classic Styles. Named for the German word for Mischief, I made a lot of it while drinking this beer.
