Can we get Hallertau???

I think Doug was out last time I was there.... This looks like a very good recipe. What would be a good sub if you could not get Hallertauer?

thanks

I have tons of Hallertau. :-)

Really any German hop would be proper. This beer as all about the malt anyways. The hops take a back seat.

I'm surprised this recipe has 8 % caramunich 60. That seems like a lot of crystal malt for a Marzen.

Ze Recipe iz correct!

I double checked the recipe and all is correct.

I'll double check the

I'll double check the numbers tonight but I'm pretty sure that is what is in the book.

Speaking of hops, is hops direct sold out? I see nothing in their store. If so, it's time to scramble or brew with whole leaf.

Nope

Pellet and leaf hops are BLANK. They still have their letter about he promise of the 2008 crop.
