I've never actually tried this style, preferring my pommies, but it sounds very tempting indeed.....
Can anyone reccomend a good (easily available) commercial example to try before brewing?

Schlenkerla Rauchbier Mrzen. Once you have it, you'll be hooked! :chug:

Im actually tempted to marinade pork ribs in this, then cook in a waterbath for a hour or so @ 90-100 deg. then bbq with some homemade bbq sauce made with the beer/marinade.


mmmmm

Sounds like a plan mate,

Ive got a Hefeweizen to brew tomorrow or Sunday, once thats done i can venture into marzen territory! Ive got 2 weeks coming up free between a change of jobs, i plan on brewing 5-6 batches to slam into cubes. should be a fun fortnight i'd say.

Only issue its starting to warm up in melbourne (30 deg on saturday) and i dont have temp control for a lager.
might need to setup a waterbath with ice rotations to keep her cool, in my new place i have the perfect fermentation spot under the stairs for ales at this time of year (constant 17-18 degrees) winter will be great for lagers i bet

Maybe i could attempt it with california lager strain.... i wonder how she'd turnout?

Sounds good, maybe even try S-189 it's fine up at 20 or 21 deg C or even US-05.
