Kit/extract Bock Recipe

[mephard]

Hey everyone

Never tried a bock before, and living in a small Queensland town the bottleshop range is a bit limited. So I thought I'd have a crack making one. I'm looking for a good kit and/or extract bock or doppelbock recipe.

Thanks

Tim

I've been looking for somewhere I can find a Dopplebock, never had one before except for something I picked up at the bottle shop called dopplebock winter ale, so im not sure if its a real doppelbock because as far as I was aware a dopplebock was a lager :S

Was that a montheiths dopplebock winter ale by chance? Cos if it was, it doesnt taste anything like a proper doppelbock IMO

ESB make a good bock in their 3kg kit. Just add water and ferment like any other lager. Easy. :icon_cheers:

It most certainly was, I thought it was tasty, but unsure if it was a real dopplebock or not as I've never tried one! Got my eyes peeled for somewhere around Perth/Freo that sells Paulaner Celebrator...

If Montieth's winter ale is a doppelbock, Hahn Super Dry is an English Barleywine.

An acceptable commercial example is Birra Moretti La Rossa, you may be able to get it from an online beer store (can't remember a URL off the top of my head)

Your best chances of trying a bock or doppelbock may be joining a home brew club and hassling an mash brewer for a stubby.

I've found going to Beer Tools recipe library, searching for a style and in the keyword field type Jamil works well. www.beertools.com

People will either post the recipe from Jamils book - or post their tweaks to the recipe.

You could download the bock episode of the Jamil show - I'm pretty sure there's a dopplebock one - at www.thebrewingnetwork.com has ag/extract recipe plus brewing tips etc.

John Palmer has a recipe in his How To Brew book - which also has a Dopplebock option.

I haven't tried it myself - was actually looking at it last night while planning the next few brews and think I will be adding it to my list.

you can take a look at it online at... http://www.howtobrew.com/section4/chapter19-4.html - just scroll down until you fine Einbock.

Cheers,

Brendo

Coopers have this on their website:

Coopers Bavarian lager kit X 2
1 kg of Light Dry malt
They say 7% abv

Pitch both sachets of yeast

Easy, simple.

Hardest part in Qld will be keeping it cool enough, even in NSW I need a brew fridge for October to
get anywhere near 13 deg C.

I'm adding a further can of liquid malt and 50g of halletau to mine, but these extas are optional.

Thanks for all the tips, I'm thinking of trying the esb 3 kilo but my LHBS is in Rockhampton, 260 km away, so I'll probably have to mail order it. Also i've heard coopers have stopped making their bavarian lager kits.

Bock episode of the Jamil show seems to have gone up today - nicely timed.
