Weizenbock Partial Mash Help!

[jmkratt]

Trying to brew a Weizenbock but can't seem to find a good partial mash recipe.

I looked at Jamil's Trick or Treat Bock and based the following loosely on it and am curious if anyone can please provide some feedback as I have never brewed this style and really don't know what I am doing:


OG - 1.080
IBUs - 23.5
ABV - 8.1%
Boil - 7 Gal
Batch Size - 5.5 Gal

Special B 8oz
Crystal 40 8oz
Dark Wheat Malt 2lbs 12 oz
Pilsener Malt 2 lbs
Munich Malt 2lbs
Wheat DME 2 lbs
Extra Light DME 3lbs

2.5oz 4%AA Hallertau 60 mins

Mash at 152* for 1 hour

Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Awesome. How long do you condition yours? Again new style to me!

The recipe looks good. I did one which was similar in strength and it was great at about 3 months in the bottle.

That's about what I was thinking. Was hoping it would be ready for hunting mid-November but it will likely be green. Oh well, still brewing it!

My weizenbock really started to develop complex fruity notes and dropped hot alcohol taste at about 3 months. This beer needed lots of time in the bottle after the cold ferment and large amount of priming sugar. It stood up really well to my bottling process, which unfortunately causes a hefty amount of oxygen exposure.

I don't bottle but the principle is the same. I am really looking to it!
