Stayed home from work today because of blizzard conditions in NE Colorado yesterday and this morning. Brewed my 3rd BIAB attempt as a 3 gallon batch of Märzen to pass the time. Did quite a bit of reading about the style and morphed together a few different recipes to make my own. Used “Amber balanced” for my water profile.
Batch size 3.4 gallons
Boil size 4.75 gallons
My recipe is:
3lbs 13oz Munich malt (8 SRM)
2 lbs Vienna malt (3.5 SRM)
1 lb Pilsner malt Ger. (2 SRM)
8 oz Caramunich III (55 SRM)
Full volume mash, no sparge 152°F 60 minutes
Boil
1.25 oz Hallertau Mittelfruh 3.1% 60 min
0.75 oz Hallertau Mittelfruh 3.1% 10 min
Total IBUs: 20.3
3.4 gallon batch into fermenter
Estimated OG 1.056
Measured OG 1.058
Estimated FG 1.013
~SRM 11.5
Ferment
Saflager W-34/70 @ 55°
Hopefully it turns out... the hydrometer sample tasted promising.
I plan to keg and lager until September like a true Oktoberfest if I can keep my grubby paws off it that long.
