Looking for a doppelbock

Sat May 23, 2009 2:40 pm

Looking to store this one away for winter enjoyment. Anyone have a tried and true recipe? Haven't gotten into all-grain yet but this maybe a good excuse to start. Thanks

I have never brewed it (it is on my short list), but you can never go wrong:

B3 has a dopplebock kit I just brewed earlier this month and it's a great recipe. Here it is.
6.5 Gallons collected.

9# German Munich (10 L) i think
2.5# German Pilsner
2.5# Vienna
2# DME Lite
8 oz. Crystal 60L
2 oz. Crystal 120L
1 oz. Vanguard @ 4.4%
(I also added .5 oz Hallertauer @ 3.2%)
1 Whirlfloc tablet.
WLP 830 German Bock yeast with 1 Liter starter.
@ 75% efficency O.G. 1.092
F.G. 1.020
ABV 10.4%
SRM 14-16
I did a step mash and decocted 1 gallon because I missed my strike temp. The grains weren't cracked good enough so my efficiency suffered. My OG was only 1.072. Which equals 67%.
It's in secondary lagering away at 34 F. I can't wait. also, I fermented at 55 F for 10 days and then transfered to a carboy to lager. Hope this helps!
Cheers!

830 should be standard German Lager. I could be wrong though.

I tried AG and a lager for my first AG and it didn't turn out so great. :)

I just filtered and kegged one that I made on Big Brew Day. Carbonating now. I don't remember the recipe as it was dictated for me. The 830 attenuated out just fine. 1.072-1.018.
Primary: Nada Damn Thing IPA
Secondary: ESB
