mmm Märzen

I'm trying my hand at a Märzen - which is effectively an Oktoberfest bier brewed in the spring and lagered through the summer.  Whether we'll be able to wait until October to taste is another story.

It's a Brewer's Best specialty kit called Marzen Festbier.  I'm writing this after the brewing but I do know it was brewed around the first week of April.  I know the OG was about 1.058.  It was a lager beer so I started the fermentation in the room temps then transferred the carboy to the Kegerator on April 12th.  When I did the OG was sitting at 1.016, so I think that was about a week or so after I brewed it.  I had a noted that said it was brewed on April 2nd.... but that can't be right?  That was the day before Easter and I would have been black fasting.... something didn't add up, though I did have Good Friday off of work so it's possible.

Anyway it went into the Kegerator and I kept it in for quite a while.  Temps were about 38F and the airlock was clicking away nicely.
