I know this is old, but I found it searching.
I just did Midwest's Bavarian Doppelbock. So far so good. I got an OG of 1.087. Spent 3 days in my beer room at a steady 70*F, then nine days in my cold room at 55*. Just pulled it out to do this diacetyl rest thing, back into the beer room. Tomorrow I intend on racking it to secondary and putting it in the fridge, where it'll remain, if I can stand it, until the beginning of March.
I followed the Midwest recipe without changes as I'm too new to start mucking about with kits. Plus, I'd like to try a kit out first, then if it makes a good beer, then I can order the same kit and start changing/adding things.
One thing to note is that Midwest's direction don't tell you what to do with the supplied champagne yeast. I wrote them and they told me to add about half the packet at bottling. Not sure I like that level of "detail". I don't want bottle bombs.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

You won't get bottle bombs if fermentation was complete and you add the proper amount of priming sugar. I'd guess it's just extra insurance for good bottle conditioning with a fairly high ABV and potentially long aging time.
Please keep me/us posted as I'm still interested in such a beer if it seems decent.

My doppelbock has been in the fridge for a month and I just re-read what I wrote. I'm not sure I can wait till beginning of March. Perhaps mid-Feb I'll pull it out of the fridge?
