Kristi and Ewan's Märzen Brew
We got this recipe (& most of the ingredients) from Maryland
HomeBrew.
Ingredients:
- .5 lb. Crystal 20 malt
- .5 lb Caravienne malt
- .5 lb Caramunich malt
- 6 lb. Muntons plain light malt extract
- 1 lb. extra light malt extract
- ~1 lb honey (for extra kick!)
- 2 oz. Hallertauer hop pellets
- 2 g Gypsum
- 1 oz. Saaz hop pellets
- 100 mL Mondike Ale YPAD overnight culture
- 3/4c corn sugar for priming
Directions:
- Steep grains in hop bag in 1.5 gallons of cold water, heated
to ~90°C (40 minutes.) Remove grains.
- Added malt extracts & honey.
- Add 2 ozs Hallertauer hop pellets & gypsum. Took 20 minutes
to break (105°C.) Boiled for 60 minutes.
- Add 1 oz Saaz during the last minute of the boil. Removed from
heat to ice til 55°C
- Sparge wort into 3 gallons cool water.
- Pitch yeast (temp was 31°C.)
- Store at room temperature 4 days. Rack to secondary fermenter
for 17 days.
- Prime and bottle.
For proper carbonation, stored beer at room temperature
for at least the first week after bottling. This allows the yeast
to feed on the priming sugar and produce the necessary carbon dioxide
needed for carbonation. It was ready to drink after a couple of
weeks, but it improved with age.
