I waited too long this year before brewing an Oktoberfestbier, so this in this video I catch up by cranking out an Oktoberfest Marzen relatively quickly! Fun fact: I didn’t use pressure fermentation or quick lagering techniques at all during this brew!

What are your feelings about aging a lager at 55-60. That’s about as cold as I get consistently get without giving up one of 2 spots in my beer fridge
That will still work, it will just take longer to get to the point of crispness and clarity
never use water treatment for any German beer specially stuff to clarify it.
Good thing I don’t live in Germany
Tried this on my anvil and only got 1045 og. Didn’t recirculate but stirred it every 15m during mash. Post boil volume was 5.5g. Did i so something wrong?
Probably seeing a lower efficiency due to difference in systems, and maybe grain crush. I crush pretty finely
Very similar recipe to MeanBrews Marzen. Going to have to try this!
You think Lutra would make a good Oktoberfest Marzen?
