I have been reading up on what makes a Weizenbock and made myself up a recipe, and it seems solid based on the other recipes I have seen. I downloaded Beersmith to double-check it and it has an incredibly low estimated OG & ABV, and unsurprisingly high Color. Here is what Beersmith says:
Est. OG: 1.018 --> Should be: 1.064-1.09
IBU: 29.6 --> Should be: 15-30
Color: 34.4 --> Should be: 12-25
Est. ABV: 1.8(!!!)-> Should be: 6.5-8
My recipe (5-gallon):
Dark Wheat Malt -- 10 lbs.
Munich Malt -- 5 lbs.
Chocolate Wheat Malt -- 1 lb
Northern Brewer -- 1 oz.
German Perle -- 1 oz.
Weihenstephan Yeast -- 1 pkg.
What. Have. I. Done?
