I have really been enjoying my dark wheat's lately, and having never actually had one, I can almost imagine the glory of a Weizenbock. Problem is, I'm having trouble locating a recipe I feel certain will be both delicious and true to style. Has anyone here brewed Jamil's version from Brewing Classic Styles? Is there a particular Weizenbock recipe you would recommend otherwise? Help me locate a good one. AG, preferred. thanks.
Haven't had a weizenbock (can't find one around here), but Jamil's recipes are always a good bet. I have tried (and modified) many of his and they are always good.
+1 on Jamil's recipes, I haven't had one I didn't like. I brewed one based on information from Ray Daniels book that was OK but Jamil's recipe would be darker, maltier and likely tastier.
I'd start with JZ, he knows his stuff and how he's described his brew sounds spot-on. I've had a few that were horribly cloyingly sweet. Never brewed one of my own.

I don't want cloyingly sweet, nope. I want rich and spicy. He describes in BCS how it's his favorite warming halloween beer. That alone makes me want one (I can almost taste it). I guess I'll go with his recipe.....I just don't have a big enough kettle to do the 90 minute boil for all that Pilsner malt....what to do?
