So one of my brew partners decided he wanted to do a Bock. I have limited experience with these but from what I gather you use a lager yeast and then the beer itself at some point needs to be lagered.
So my question is at what point in the ferment do you need to drop the temp to lagering temps and for how long? Also what temps are best for lagering Bock's 45 - 50? Also this particular beer is a variation of a Dubel Bock I believe. It has a starting gravity of 1.087 and uses 9.25 pounds of LME.
He has already bought all the ingredients before I realised what he was getting us into(he knows less than I do about this stuff) and our brew date is friday so any help on getting the details ironed out is much apreciated.
Thanks .
