Hello All,
So, now I am working on the recipe for a wiezenbock next... and seeking your advice Plan on aging this one for my "fall seasonal" Hehehe...
First time making my own weizenbock recipe, however, I have kinda "cherry picked" bits and pieces of a bunch of recipes I have read over the past couple days.
I have 28 lbs of wheat malt and 28 lbs of pilsner left over from my last weizen brew a few weeks back. Here's what I (and Beersmith!) have come up with, so far:
25 Gallon Batch
72% efficiency
1.074 OG
1.017 FG
Color: 22.5
IBU : 22.6
ABV: 7.4% +/-
30 lbs (43.5%) wheat
28 lbs (40.5%) Pilsner
5 lbs (7.25%) Munich
2 lbs (3 %) Crystal 40
2 lbs (3%) Special B
2 lbs (3%) Chocolate malt
60 Min: 6 oz. Mt Hood (5.3%AA) 20.6 IBU
15 Min: 2 oz. Mt Hood (5.3%AA) 3.4 IBU
Mash at 150, 60 min
Boil 90 min
Pitch on washed / collected White Labs Hefe IV yeast.
Ferment low-mid 60's.
Seems pretty well within the style.
Whattaya think? Any input is greatly appreciated.
And a big thanks to Deathbrewer, who gave me some help with this one, so far.
