[…] you can see this recipe is for a true lager, not an ale hybrid style (though there is nothing wrong with that IMO). My fermentation regimen is going to be 3-4 weeks at […]

I was thinking about starting this brew up this weekend, any comments on the final product? Any changes you’d suggest making? Thanks!

Just stumbled upon this post in a google search… Trying to do the Marzen-esqu ale thing this weekend…

Details here: http://blog.homebrewbeer.net/2008/08/oktoberfest-inspired-ale-homebrew.html

But I have no real climate control in my basement, so I’ll be a slave to the mid 60s low 70s the room I ferment in stays at… Am I doomed? What say you?

I brewed this about 3 weeks ago, it just went to secondary. It’s still surprisingly sweet tasting, so I figure it has a while to go in the secondary, but the smell and flavor are very nice, I can’t wait for it to be done. I just wish that I could do something about the clarity, it’s very hazy.

I had been wondering what I could brew to experiment with that Cry Havoc yeast.
Writing this post made me think this would be a great way to experiment.

I did the same thing. I brewed Charlie Papazian’s Winky Dink Marzen using Cry Havoc, and it came out fantastic. So I tried a Peppercorn Rye-Bock using Cry Havoc, and it came out great.

I used to use Cal Ale yeast, but now, Cry Havoc is my standard yeast.

Glad I’m not the only one trying Oktoberfest ales.
