Ingredients
Amount Item Type
8.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 47.1 %
6.75 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 39.7 %
1.00 lb Carafoam (2.0 SRM) Grain 5.9 %
1.00 lb Wheat Malt, Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 5.9 %

1.50 oz Hallertauer [3.20%] (45 min) Hops 12.7 IBU
1.00 oz Hallertauer [3.20%] (30 min) Hops 7.1 IBU
0.50 oz Hallertauer [3.20%] (15 min) Hops 2.3 IBU
1 Pkgs German Ale/Kolsch (White Labs #WLP029) Yeast-Ale
Mash Profile
Mash Name: Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge
Mash in with 21.25 qt of water at 165.9 F for mash at 154.0 F for 60 minutes
Batch Sparge withe 4.34 gal fof water at 168.0 F
Notes: This is one big beer at nearly 8%. This beer is fairly crisp and possibly a little overhopped. It's too much for a dopplebock, but I didn't have any style guidleines for a high gravity alt so we made them up. It has a deep alcohol warming taste on the end. If I could find a better fermentation control to keep that from happening, it would be a great beer. In the end, it is very good and really knocks the socks off. I plan on modifying this again to be a little more malty and only weigh in around 6.5-7% ABV.
