Brewing a FAST OKTOBERFEST/Märzen at ROOM TEMPERATURE | Grain to Glass | Fermenting Under Pressure
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer
Date: 2020-09-04

In this video, I brewed an Oktoberfest style beer using lager yeast at room temperature under pressure, which took only 3 days to ferment, then with gelatin finings and a floating dip tube, I had the beer pouring clear after only 4 days. This unconventional process produced a very clean and good-tasting Märzen style lager extremely fast and above all, easily! See below for the complete recipe. The beer turned out lovely with great bready, biscuity and caramel flavors, but I think I added too much pressure at the beginning, which may have suppressed some of the yeast character I was hoping for. In this video, I walk you through how to brew this beer using the Fermzilla, an inexpensive way to get into pressure fermentation!
