Haven't had a maple Marzen. I do like Oktoberfest, and I have a can of it just sitting there. Thought I'd like to make it a little richer, smoother and with more depth. Maybe sweeter.

Thinking of tweaking Oktoberfest with the following: 1can Oktoberfest HME 1 packet DME-Smooth 1 oz Fuggle Hops Nottingham yeast Maple syrup Question: The jar of maple is 12.5 oz. I'm thinking that might be too much for the 2.5gal of wort. Maybe just half of the jar. Also when to add, in the boil wit...

Thanks, "Toss in 1/2oz of some hops at the end..."; does that mean put the hops in the wort and then in the fermenter? Is that dry hopping?

I recently bought four Mr. Beer kits from a local retailer at a dirt cheap price. CAL in all of them. I started a batch using one can of the CAL HME and bottled tonight. I was wondering what the end result would be if my next batch used two cans of the CAL HME?
