I'm feeling the need to get a Maibock going this weekend. This is what I've settled on: any tweaks or WTFs would be appreciated.
Batch size: 5 gallons
--
4 lbs. Pilsen Extra Light Dry DME
1 lb. Breiss Sparkling Amber DME
2 lbs. Vienna
1 lb. Pilsner
1 lb. Cara Munich II
Mash 149DF for 60 mins
1 oz. Green Bullet 12.8% AA @ 60 mins
0.5 oz. Motueka 7.2% AA @ 15 mins.
0.5 oz. Motueka 7.2% AA @ 5 mins.
WLP833 (German Bock) - 2 packs, 1 gallon starter (per Mr. Malty)
OG 1.068
FG 1.018
IBU 39.4
SRM 9.29
ABV 6.5%
FYI, I can only mash about 4 lbs. of grains and boil up to 3.5 gallons. I have reservations about using five pounds of DME because it's a pain in the a$$ to add to a boil even in small amounts. But I think LME tends to make beers a little syrupy and I didn't want that for this beer (especially in the quantity that would be required).
