WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Second pass extract brew to replicate the actual Oktoberfest beer served at the fairgrounds each year. It is a pale yellow, slightly malty relatively high ABV brew that is easy drinking , not too filling and highly satisfying. I have been to Oktoberfest many times and often say to myself that it's one of the best beers I have ever had when you are having more than one. It is difficult if not impossible to find anywhere else, in particular the states. What you will find is the old Marzen style.

Ferment at 55 deg for 1 week; 60 deg another 4 days; then 65 deg for 2 days. transfer to secondary and lager for 3-6 weeks at 32-35 deg. Bottle 3/4 c dextrose or keg; carbonate at 2.25-2.5
