FWIW, I just did one with 65% Vienna, 21% Munich 9L, 10% Pils, and 4% melanoidan IIRC.


Edit -  Also, this one's on the light end of the color range. I believe it's 7.7 SRM.

The one I just won a silver with was:

  Munich 10L       37.7%
  Pilsner             30.2%
  Vienna             22.6%
  Caramunich III    7.5%
  Melanoidan         1.9%

I think this year I'm lowering the Pils percentage and raising the Vienna and possibly the Munich.
Mine is similar but with a little more Pils and a little less Munich. Like you though, I keep turning the dial more toward Munich and away from Pils. In my mind it's more Marzen than Ofest, but I realize it's not a clear cut distinction. Either way, I tend to like it darker and richer. I want it very drinkable, but maybe by the half liter instead of the full liter ;)
