My husband has now had a few of my homebrews, and he's hooked. His favorite beer in the world is Capital Brewery's Mai Bock, and now he's emailing me all kind of recipes. He sent me this one:
Bavarian Pale Bock
Malt
9.5 lb Coopers Pale Malt Extract
8 ounces Carapils Malt
2 ounces Crystal 120L Malt
2 ounces Caramunich Malt
>Hops
1.5 ounces Mt.Hood Hops (60 min)
0.5 ounces Mt.Hood hops (Finishing-last 5 minutes of boil)
>Yeast
WLP920-Old Bavarian Lager Yeast
I'm guessing this would be a lager, right? I think I'd like to try lagering in the fall/winter when my basement is cold. How low of a temp. do I need to maintain to make a lager? Is there a chance that this recipe would be like a blonde bock, or mai bock?
Thanks!
Lorena
