So I read in designing great beers that this style actually exists and is fairly common. This got me thinking about how much I love bocks, and how much adding apples would just make it the perfect fall/winter beer. When I do this style, I am actually going to try to do the triple decoction method (I love the videos and I am buying a book), but the question then became when to add the apples. I was thinking that I could just make the beer now and let it lager and when apples come into season around late august stick them in the primary for a month and then keg it. Do people use the juice, pulverize them and add the crushed apple parts? I don't generally do fruit beers, but I would assume that adding 2lb of apples to the secondary would give it a nice apple kick. Should I add more?
