I'm going to be brewing a maibock soon and I've got a base recipe that I am working with. I'd like it to end up with some tropical fruit notes, similar to BBC Maibock (if anyone has ever had it) rather than nutty. Rogue Dead Guy is also a good example. Here is roughly what I am planning.
O.G. 1.067
Single Infusion Mash @ 153F
Grist:
53% German Pils
29% Carapils
18% German Light Munich
Hops:
Haulertau 1oz (4.3%) 60 min
Perle 0.5oz (7.7%) 15 min
Saaz 0.5oz (4%) 15 min
Saaz 0.5oz (4%) 0 min
Yeast:
WLP833 German Bock Lager Yeast
I know BBC uses all German ingredients so I didn't think adding American hops of any sort was necessary. I don't have the ability to do a true lager, so this will end up fermenting in the 60's and will impart some fruity esters. I am open to just using an ale yeast also. If anyone has suggestions to change any of this, I am all ears.
