Alright, starting to plan my next brew. We've been drinking a lot of Oktoberfests lately (obviously), and while we're obviously moving out of that season I'd like to make something that's kind of in that style. Malty but balanced, good body, amber/copper/reddish hue, fairly easy to drink. Seems like several of the top-rated Oktoberfests have "buiscuty" as a character trait, maybe a little buiscut malt in the mash?
Thing is, I have no capacity to lager at this time, and I just cannot make building a po'boy lagerator a priority at this time. So, I'm looking for an ale that's kind of in the Märzenbier style, I guess. I know it's not going to be perfectly accurate, that's OK with me, I'm basically looking for a malty, balanced red ale.
Looking to do a partial mash (hopefully, mostly-mash), if someone had either a PM or an AG recipe that I could play around with, that would be awesome.
As always, much obliged for any thoughts you folks might have.
