How to Brew an OKTOBERFEST MÄRZEN EASY and ON A BUDGET (BIAB Method)

Homebrew Beer Guides
In this video, I am returning to my simple, $200 Electric Brew in a Bag (BIAB) setup to brew an Autumn classic: Märzen Oktoberfest. Just like other videos as of late, I’ll be showing the process step by step, as more of a brew along with me approach. This is one of the best examples I’ve put together yet, and it is probably truest to style, in that it uses no caramel or dark malts at all.
