Unfug Marzen

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.

A beer I wanted to revisit, as there is not much locally that satisfies my palate. This roasty, rich and easy drinking beer is very hard to wait for. Brewed on a Saturday morning with hose water and an RV filter I always use. The water profile is that of local well water that I find very tasty. I think it lends a good flavor to darker beers.

Hops introduced at the beginning of the boil for 60 minutes in my Brewers Edge Mash and Boil. Starting gravity before the boil was 1.042. OG of 1.051. The brew went well and I was able to get this done rather quick. I definitely want to brew this again.

Type of Ingredient	Amount
Pilsner – German	10 lbs
Munich Caramel	4 lbs
Crystal 60	1 lb
German Carafa II	5 oz
Melanoidin	.5 lb

Pillow Talk V2

I make lagers due to the extra 45 degree areas in my fridge. I usually have two ales fermenting at a time. I am fortunate to be able to have this ability and I trade off between Bock lagers and Pilsner style lagers. This one is made with Hallertau hops.

An instant favorite of my friends. I wanted to see how well my brewing recreation could reproduce this dopplebock. Lager yeast need a lower temperature and a steady one too. These next 8 weeks will be long, but I’m sure the Toasty Bastard and HoeBaanger will get me through the time. I pulled my pilsner Pillow Talk out and into the keg. Should make for great drinking.

I had been itching to crank out a dark lager for some time. I finally got the courage to try it out. Here is my take on a dopplebock. Nice and roasty. It has been hanging out in the fridge for around 8 weeks and I should start drinking it sometime in September. Lots of Pilsner malts with some Munich Caramel and Crystal 60.

On Crazy Pils

I was eager to add another Pilsner to my schedule of brewing after adding Pea flowers to my previous Pilsner. I love Lagers and Pilsners. I added some Oat Malt for some extra flavor. Hersbrucker hops for a floral and spicy aroma.
