- My first 2 brews were a wheat beer, which was good, and a Belgain Abbey single which turned out great. Both of those have been drank. I just brewed a Nut Brown, and an Oatmeal Stout w/ Maple syrup. I'm still waiting to see how the Nut Brown will be after more conditioning time. The Stout is still in the secondary.

My previous understanding was that bock was a lager type as well. However, I recently
discovered that it simply means a strong beer.Posted in thread: Weizenbock recipe comparison on 09-17-2011 at 12:31 PM
Ya, I was planning on using either 1.5# dark wheat, or crystal 40, and 4# of dark Munich.Posted in thread: Weizenbock recipe comparison on 09-17-2011 at 01:19 AM
I order my ingredients from Midwest Brewers, and they have the Munich and Vienna listed as
