Hey everyone.
After my first batch from Mr. beer I've decided to go ahead and upgrade to a more traditional setup. For my first real batch of beer I've wanted to do an Oktoberfest style, but I have some questions.
AFAIK, Oktoberfest and Marzen are supposed to be the same thing, right? Well I've had Sam Adams Octoberfest and Gordon Biersch Marzen and they were very VERY different in my opinion. What I want to brew is something more in the style of the Sam Adams: Thick, amber, malty, and very aromatic. Can anyone point me towards a recipe that can mimic that?
On a side note, what the hell does SWMBO stand for?
