Report on the Marzen Octoberfest beer:

WOW, I racked the lager into carboys, to begin the lagering phase of the brew. Of course I had to give a taste, and let me tell you. WOW it is awsome! better than most store bought lagers!!! hands down my best brew so far.

I let the carboys set out for a day to do a diacetyl rest, and I put it in the fridge the next day. I will be slowly dropping the tempurature down to 33 degrees over the next few weeks, and then I will either crank up another batch of lager or do a simple prime with corn sugar. I hope to do the former and use the kruesen to bottle condition this batch.

Take care
