Bottling Day Azorean Brewer (has brewed recipe) September 17, 2002, 6:12 am
OK, over 3 weeks in the secondary. My S.G. was 1.011 and I filled 50 - 12 oz. bottles. This tasted so good that it is gonig to be hell waiting a month to age, but it will be worth it. Best darn Oktoberfest I ever tasted, Thanks Homebrew Adventures.

Wow did this turn out great. My only complaint is that I did not lager it long enough (no patience LOL) next year I will make a batch specifically for October begining in March and lager it all summer. I also substituted 2 lbs. of pilsner for 2 lbs. of Vienna Ii think it needs just a little more malt complexity.

And this is the one you want to brew ... By far the best Marzen I have ever had ... Lager it for 3 months ... and wow ... Start it begining of June, secondary by June 21 or so, lager it for 3 months and come the first day of Autumn you'll be ready but this beer won't last :-) your friends and family will empty your keg quickly ... but you'll be back :-)

Octoberfest youdaman10 (has brewed recipe) October 3, 2004, 1:34 am
I made this beer on advice from the receipt author. I just wanted to confirm that this is a great receipt. I lagered this brew around four months after primary. I had my annual Octoberfest party today with three brews. This was easily the favorite. A nice, clean, refreshing brew that is low on the hop bitterness. Perfect for my friends and family. Thanks for the advice. I'll have to make this at least annually.

This recipe gave me first place in Oktoberfest category, on local homebrewers competition. I made it on Munich Lager yeast.
