Taking inspiration from the Aussie Homebrewer magazine my mate left me, I adapted their Oktoberfest recipe.
4kg Munich
2kg maris otter extra pale
Mash 53C for 30mins, 67C for 1h.
20g motueka, 20g hallertauer mittelfruh first wort
Same again at T+45min
40g of each at T+59 min
1h boil
2x Munich yeast sachets (it recommended 1g/L...?) pitched at 13C - the counterflow chiller works a treat.
25L at 1.055
Moved the demijohn and caught it against the fucking stone flags outside, smashing the fucker and spilling all the fucking beer all over my fucking feet and the back fucking yard. Fuck piss shit. I'm moving to plastic tomorrow.

Re: Decemberfest
That's shocking, I just hate it when that happens.
Re: Decemberfest
That sucks.
But, be thankful all you lost was beer. I know someone in New York who nearly lost a hand (and would have done without serious surgery) when he caught a glass carboy full of beer on the edge of a counter and it sliced his flesh.
I like these, which aren't glass, but which are (supposedly) impervious to oxygen - http://www.better-bottle.com/
