I'm planning an all grain weizen bock. My goal is to get a beer with around 8% ABV, and color around 24. I've come up with 2 recipes that accomplish this, the difference is the ratio of malted barley to malted wheat. What would the be the differences in these 2 recipes as far as flavor, mouth feel, etc?
Recipe 1
Golden Promise 10.0#
Wheat Malt, White 3.0#
Wheat Malt, Dark 1.5#
Wheat Malt, Chocolate 0.5#
Crystal 40 1.5#
This recipe comes to 1.079 OG, 7.76% ABV, color of 23.60, IBU 23.9
Recipe 2
Golden Promise 5.0#
Wheat Malt, White 7.5#
Wheat Malt, Dark 1.5#
Wheat Malt, Chocolate 0.5#
Crystal 40 1.5#
This recipe comes to 1.078 OG, 7.66 ABV, color of 23.4, IBU 24.1
This is for a 5.5, both recipes use:
Saaz 3.1 alpha 60 min, Hallertau 4.41 alpha 10 min, Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen.
So, what will the differences be in the final product of these 2 recipes?
