Anyone have a nice bock recipe?

Something close to shiner or amberbock.. something the folks would like to drink..

thanks!
 
I just kegged this. Had a too-high OG (1.057) which is between trad. bock and munich dunkel on the BJCP guidelines. So it's really a heavy dunkel/light bock. You can up the grain amounts a bit and end up with a real bock---and let me tell you, this is so freakin' german-dark-lagery it's scary.

Code:

Thanks! I'm brewing this later today. What temp did you ferment at?

If you're using a lager yeast, for most strains you'll want to chill the wort to about 45*F before pitching, aerate/oxygenate it well, pitch twice the cell count that you would for an ale (that means a fairly big starter) and ferment around 48-50*F. Once it hits 75-80% of the way from OG to expected FG, bring it up to 62-64*F for a few days d-rest.

Considering the OG, you should lager this for at least 6 weeks in the low-mid 30's.
 
Sounds good, thanks for the quick response
