Oktoberfest 2000
Oktoberfest/Märzen • All Grain • 20 gal
German malts could be used in lieu of the American pale2row and the Munich if you desire a more authentic brew. If you would like to have your brew a little darker, try decoction mashing to achive some carmalization. Avoid using dark malts chocolate malt and roasted barley. My brew truned out very malty with sweetness a little under balanced by bitterness. No Hop aroma appropriate for style. The only problem is that I scorched the wort while brewing.
