Product Details
This famous German style is stronger than an everyday lager and is the fuel for Oktoberfest celebrations all over the world. The original pre-industrial Oktoberfest was called Maerzenbier, brewed at the end of the brewing season in the spring to be lagered in caves all summer for fall and harvest festivities. Our kit will give you a full-bodied and elegant red-amber beer with a subdued German noble hop bitterness and complex malty profile that's great all year round.
If you enjoyed Oktoberfest Lager, you'll love this kit!

Oktoberfest All Grain Beer Recipe Kit
I just finished the lagering step: color, aroma, and initial taste test are all good!
Currently kegged and under burst carbonation, first sample another day away.
A great Marzen!
I brewed this some time ago and it’s a very good lager. Original gravity was a tad high at 1.073 but my system can go up to 85% efficiency sometimes. Used the Wyeast option with a 2 liter starter and fermented at 54° F and a diacetyl rest at 64°. Finished out at 1.020 for a 7.1% abv Oktoberfest!
This came out really nice. Dark, nutty, Not too heavy. A nice autumn bier.
