I couldn't drink it early but as it aged past year one, it started to taste Ok. I have about 6 left, good for Black and Tan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graculus Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I've got the odd bottle in the beer cupboard that are old. I was just going to chuck them. They were from my early brewing days. I doubt they taste good. Anyhow, I thought it was the right time of year to break out the SMOTY. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Calafati, my Vienna Lager. Not quite as clear as it should be but it is still very young. Malty and sweet with a mild bitterness. Somehow I don’t think the keg will last particularly long 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both created by friends, one in Munich, the other in Vienna. Vienna uses mainly Vienna malt and Märzen funnily enough Munich. Märzen is a little darker because of the higher EBC of Munich malt vs Vienna. I like them both and brew them both, alternating between the two. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately recipes for partial mash versions don’t appear to be abundant. Perhaps I’ll do a 10 litre version with Munich, a bit of Pilsner, and a kilo or so of DME… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Flander Red tonight! Keep forgetting about it??? Well three months in the bottle light carbonation plenty of tart. Probably have to get a commercial to compare but really happy with it! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I’ll do a 10 litre version with Munich, a bit of Pilsner, and a kilo or so of DME… Yeah, I understand it is a little difficult to do with a kit. Maybe a Munich Hell/Lager kit, which probably already contains a quantity of Munich malt, with a partial mash using Munich and a smidge of CaraMunich II might get you there. Hops between a Hell and a Märzen are similar in terms of IBU and content. They slightly vary from recipe to recipe but in the end, it is almost always Hallertau mf, Hersbruck, Tettnang or Perle. In essence, what is in a Munich Lager kit should be suitable for a Märzen as well. You just want the colour of the Munich malt along with its sweetness and biscuity/bready flavours. All fermented with a good lager yeast. I usually use Nova for a Märzen but Dubbya would be a great choice too. If not, a small batch AG would be even better. Then you know what goes in. With a bigger stock pot and grain bag, you may even get closer to 15l out of it for the same amount of work and time. But if you go through the effort to do small batch AG, then don't use DME and do it all as is. My version is 59% Munich I, 33% Pilsner and 8% CaraMunich II. Hops are Hallertau mf as a 60 minute addition for 20 IBU with a little 10 minute addition of Perle. for 2 IBU. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Dark ale partial. Can of coopers dark ale with a 2kg mash of pilsener malt and 20gm centennial at flameout for 5 mins. Not bad at all. A partial hides the twang somewhat but with a dark beer it hides it even more in my opinion. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Charlie Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 It's been a while since I have been on the forum, I thought I would check in. Still brewing non-stop, this is an Aussie Lager 6 weeks in. Just a middy with 4kg pale and 20g POR. Pretty happy with this one and it's also MSMA (megaswill mates approved). 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
