I've been researching old breweries in my area. One in particular, the Darmstaetter Brewery, piqued my interest. According to what I can find, they brewed 4 varieties of beer there, Pilsener, Waldbrau, Tafel and Bayrisch. I wanted to figure out what "styles" these were. Pilsener and Tafel...

So, I brewed up a Marzen today, hops were supposed to be 1 oz Tettnang @ 60, .5 oz of Hallertau at 30, and .5 oz at 15 minutes. All went according to plan, I thought, until after I had it in the fermenter and found my last .5 oz of Hallertau on the counter. Grrr... So... This was to be...
