After the urging of a good friend who has consistently been bothering me to make an Octoberfest/Marzen, I decided to take the jump and attempt one from scratch. The first issue is that I do not have the space or time to lager so after some research I came up with the following.
I'm a bit lost as to how to achieve the malt flavor so after research I came up with a bunch of different malts and I fear that it may be too many and might clutter the flavor.
I will be using my 10g Mash Tun setup and plan on a 60 min mash at 152F.
Octoberfest Ale
1.061 OG 24.8 IBU 5.60 gallon batch
32.7% Munich (#4.25)
23.1% Pilsner (#3.00)
23.1% Vienna (#3.00)
5.8% Carapils (#.75)
5.8% Aromatic (#.75)
5.8% Carared (#.75)
3.8% Caramel/Crystal 30L (#.25)
Saaz 1 oz @ 60
Tettnang 1 oz @30
Wyeast 1099 Whitbread
