Loose Lederhosen Oktoberfest

Well, I've gone and done it again. I took the advice of some brewer buddies and some friends and this is the new recipe: Loose Lederhosen Oktoberfest.

It is a classic style Marzen, with Munich & Vienna malts, and uses Hallertau & Tettnanger hops for bittering and Tettnanger for aroma.

I am really excited about this one, and plan on brewing it as soon as I get the missing piece: a proper lagering chiller. I may have zeroed in on a sweet wine cooler that can do 45-65, which I can always drop even lower by adding some ice. Once I get this part figured (working on a lead via Craigslist), I will be brewing.

It is going to hit, potentially these stats:

Original Gravity:

1.056

Final Gravity:

1.014

ABV (standard):

5.55%

IBU (tinseth):

20.77

SRM (morey):

10.41

As always, drink well and be merry. Slainte!
