#41 Jamil's Marzen
2.5 lbs Pilsner Malt
2 lbs Pale 2-row Malt
4.5 lbs Munich Malt
.5 lb Caramunich
.5 lb Carapils
.75 oz Tettnanger Hops (4.5%AA)(90 min)
.25 oz Saaz Hops (3.3%AA)(15 min)
1 vial WLP-820 Oktoberfest-Marzen Yeast
- Brewed 7 October 2006. SG 1.046 (62% efficiency--I'm
thinking a protein rest is needed).
- Racked 14 October. Smells yummy!
- Kegged 25 October. Very biscuity--almost too much so!
- Tapped 27 January 2007. Good, but the finish is lacking.
Needs a touch more hop bite, and a little more body.
Notes:
- Add 5 quarts boiling water. Hold 168F for 10 minutes.
- Sparge to 7 gallons.
- Boil 90 inutes, hopping per schedule.
- Mash in with 13 quarts 169F water. Hold 156F for 90 minutes.
- Chill wort, pitch yeast.
