Weizenbock Weizenbock

[Blackmuse]

Stark is strong in German so that would be a strong-wheat-beer... Bocks are strong so it makes sense. Sweet glass BTW.

I made a Weizenbock and have been told by family that it is one of my best yet! I made mine by using a Dunkleweizen recipe and really upping the alcohol content. It was like an amazing dark wheat beer with a kick. I loved it! I can post the recipe if anyone is interested.

I made up a batch of the Baron's weizenbock this weekend... Used WY3068 and split it between two fermentors to avoid the overflow while we were gone at a SuperBowl party! I did a double crush on the white wheat per a fellow brewer's recommendation. Anxious to see if that results in a more cloudy beer (desired). I make alot of doppelweizen's with the hefebank 68 yeast and am anxious to try the double crush there... Increased the mash efficiency in any case and no sparge issues with the pound of rice hulls.
Cheers!
