After posting in the "how often do you brew" thread, I realized that I'm on batch #20, or my 100th gallon of homebrew. So, I thought I ought to brew up something real special to commemorate the occasion.
By far, one of my all-time favorite commercial brews is Capital Brewery's "Blonde Doppelbock." Golden color, very smooth and only slightly sweet with a strong malty presence - this brew is a sleeper that will sneak up and drop you to the floor if your not careful.
So, the question is, how does one brew somthing like this? Anyone got any suggestions for malt bill? I'm thinking mostly pils with perhaps some vienna and/or munich. Anything else? Yeast suggestions?
I'm guessing a triple decoction will also be warranted.
