Fellas,
I've got an extract version of the 'Einbock' recipe from the Palmer 'How to Brew' book bubbling away behind me and was just wondering if you guys knew of any readily available commercial varieties I could buy to compare it to? I can find plenty of 'Doppelbock' and 'Dunkel' varieties but the recipe is for the ordinary paler type based I understand around Munich. My (Palmer's) recipe was:
3.5 kg Pale LME
1.5 kg Amber LME
110 grams Maltodextrin
55 grams Perle (7%) 60 mins.
22 grams Spalt (4.7%) 10 mins
Saflager W34/70 yeast
15 grams Spalt dry hopped after racking last night.
As you can see, it should be a pale Bock rather than black, and strong in alcohol (1.067 OG) but not 'doppel'. Any commercial varieties of pale Bock I might be able to find??
Thanks in advance ,
Gough.
