Now called BeeLine Märzen (AKA CMW Oktoberfest 3.1) 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).
Note: previously used WLP833 (lager yeast) or WLP838 (now known to be an ale yeast). This time, will use 2 packets of SafLager W-34/70 per carboy, which is a true lager yeast and Brulosophy found to give a clearer and cleaner lager than WLP830 (http://brulosophy.com/2016/07/21/yeast-comparison-saflager-w-3470-vs-wlp833-german-bock-lager-exbeeriment-results/). Plus, don't need starter for these. No starter will be used, so expect a bit of a delay before active fermentation starts.
