First Oktoberfest & Proper Lager

My 50% Munich 1.056 marzen got down to 1.012. I usually don’t have attenuation issues using lots of Munich. My Dunkel is 75% Munich and it also attenuates just fine.
 
peasant 2 row for the win lol. I just like clean drinkable beers! plus its cheaper!
I just bought some Bohemian Floor Malted Pils:) With 5 gallons, I can be a snotty bastard LOL.
 
If I use a lager yeast, I set the refrigerator to 48, go do something for two or three hours and pitch when I get home. 5 gallons going from 80 to about 62 at 48, will take about 3 hours.
I do not think you will get 1.008FG with that much Munich. If you do, let me know what you did.

It’s looking pretty close to 1.008FG, though I always have trouble reading this thing. Hoping it’s not too dry for a marzen. Sample is tasty though.

I mashed the beer I just brewed lower to see what it would do with the Munich, but I used a yeast that doesn't attenuate that well. I'm not expecting low at all, but for this beer, a 1.018 might be very nice.
I wouldn't worry too much about your FG. It will probably be quite good if your sanitation and your temperatures were right.
