Noddy's Marzen Larger.
Oktoberfest/Märzen • Extract • 25 L
Yum! My best Marzen. Has great mouthfeel and body. Has excellent head retension. Bitterness and roasted/charcole flavours are perfectly balanced by the slight sweetness from the pale malt steeped at 68 oC.

Fermentis S-23 Saflager S-23
Fermentis S-23 Saflager S-23
This bottom fermenting yeast is originating from the VLB (Berlin) in Germany and is known under the code RH. The strain is used by Western European commercial breweries and has been reported to produce lagers with some fruity and estery notes. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium. Instructions:Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 23C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Notes
Steeped grains at 66 - 68 celcius for 45 mins in 8 litres of water. Sparged grains with 70 oC water into boil pot. Added light liquid malt, corn sugar and water to 15 litres. Brought to boil, added bittering hops and boiled for 50 mins. Added flavouring hops 10 mins before the end of the boil. Added aroma hops in last minute of the boil. Turned off heat and let sit for 15 plus mins. Transfered to fermenter, cooled to 20 oC and added water to 25 litres. Aerated wort then added rehydrated yeast and let ferment out for two weeks. Primed bottles with caster sugar and bottled. Left in cool dark place for two months before tasting - definately worth the wait.
