Notes: Beer inspired by Lagunitas' "Censored" Beer from years back. Not quite a clone, but close. Recipe adapted from a podcast interview with head brewer. Enjoyed this beer and story from the mid-late aughts. Since it's no longer produced, this is the only way. Hops are tweaked based on availability and lower hop utilization in my setup.
Recipe from podcast:
16 plato starting gravity (1.065), 35 IBU FG 4.5-5 plato (1.018), 156F single mash temp.
74% 2-row
8% malted wheat
10% Munich 10L
6.5% Crystal 60
0.04% Roasted barley 500L - (adjusted up to 0.4% in my recipe, which would be 13g in my recipe.
(adds up to 98%)
hops (amount per 21 L)
0.2 g/L Horizon - 60 min (4.2g) - Subbed Magnum
0.3 g/L Willamette - 60 min (6.3g)
0.7 g/L Willamette - 30 min (15g)
0.1 g/L Centennial - 30 min (2.1g)
0.2 g/L Cascade - 30 min (4.2g)
0.4 g/L Centennial - 0 min (whirlpool) (8.4g)
0.4 g/L Liberty - 0 min (whirlpool) (8.4g)
Wyeast 1968 - (Using WLP002 here.)
Increased all hops by 30-35% in this recipe and bumped up the whirlpool hops given (likely) shorter duration in my setup. Subbed German Magnum for Horizon.
Podcast is The Jamil Show - Can you brew it? (Lagunitas Censored) from 2009 interview with Jeremy Marshall. https://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/post1592/
ferm temp 66F raising to 70 at 85% attenuation, 1.020 FG. |

Notes: Now called BeeLine Märzen (AKA CMW Oktoberfest 4.0) because while finishing the boil this time, a bee dove straight into the boiling wort right before flameout. The bee clearly could smell the wonderful floral aroma of the Hallertau hops and the sticky caramel malt scent. I dedicate this beer in the memory of that ardent bee.
This is an amped up version of Oktoberfest with 3 additional pounds of light Munich to take the OG up to 1.064. While this is higher than called for by the BJCP, historical records indicate that this was in range for original O-fests (http://barclayperkins.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/munich-oktoberfestbier-1901-2006.html).
For 12/16/23 batch, will ferment in Torpedo keg under pressure and at mancave temperature. Using S-23 (4 packets) this time.
Note: previously used WLP833 (lager yeast) or WLP838 (now known to be an ale yeast). This time, will use 2 packets of Omega L13 Global and will pressure ferment in 15 gallon Torpedo keg at 15 psi in mancave or shed.
Updated 11/7/2025: Additional 1 pound of melanoidin malt for extra body like a decoction mashed version. Also, will use a dry yeast, either S-23 or W-34/70. Expect relatively quick fermentation and about 3-4 weeks of laggering. May need to run through the plate filter.

Notes: This beer is inspired by a trip to Cologne that I took with my family while visiting Europe a few years ago. After touring the Cologne Cathedral ("Dom"), we stopped in at a nearby bakery for some treats. As we were looking through the counter at the lovely pastries, an old woman behind the counter came around and swatted away the hand of my 5 year old daughter as she was pointing at a pastry she wanted (even though she wasn't touching the glass). I immediately gathered the crew and we promptly left without ordering, but not before telling off this old hag with a few choice German words. Alte Hexe is "old hag" or "witch" in German, so this beer is dedicated to her.
1 packets of WLP029 Kolsch yeast onto old Kolsch yeast cake. This will be fermented under pressure (about 10 psi), so will likely start fairly quickly, but who knows. |
