This is my latest Vienna recipe. What I mean is that I can seldom brew the same thing twice - I always decide to change something. The recipe in my book is a Graf-style Vienna (ref. Fix and Fix) from Mexico, while this current recipe is a bit more on the Marzen side of the style.
The hops are newer American triploids of Noble types, namely Hallertauer Mittlefruh and Saaz, so If you can't get these varieties, just get something similar. Likewise the Yeast is Whitelabs Oktoberfest, but another lager yeast will also work. Whatever you use it will be your beer and it will be good.
Oh, let me see if I can't convert this recipe to metric units....
Vienna Lager - 21 Liters
Extract and Steeped Grain
1.055 OG, 1.012 FG, 10 SRM, 28 IBU
WLP 833 (drier) or WLP 820 (maltier)
3 kg of Pilsner liquid malt extract
.5 kg of Amber dry malt extract
.25 kg of Crystal 40L steeped
110 grams of Crystal 75L steeped
110 grams of Crystal 120L steeped
15 grams of Santiam 6%Alpha for 45 minutes
35 grams of Liberty 4%Alpha for 30 minutes
15 grams of Liberty 4%Alpha for 15 minutes
Primary Fermentation at 8-9C for 10 days.
Rack and lager at 2-3C for 3 weeks.
I use force carbonation in soda kegs these days, but you can prime and bottle also. You may want to retain some of your lager yeast from the primary and add about 20 ml to your priming solution to assure good carbonation.
Good brewing,
John
