Update: German Pils, Marzen

The German Pils is now out of secondary and into a keg for lagering. The FG was 1.018, which is high so I'm going to top it off with some distilled water to get it down to about 1.012. Volume is 4 .25 gallons.

The Marzen is beautiful! The color is spot on and it's mmmmalty, and the FG stands at 1.014. Volume is 4.75 gallons.

I'd rather be over than under :)
