Hey guys.
I'm thinking about brewing my first Bock and really keen to give a Maibock a go for my first attempt. Have been searching around on the net for somewhere to start with regards to putting a recipe together but there seems to be such a great difference in grain bills and yeasts.
I have JW pils and JW Munich in bulk and the moment, I know it's not German but its what's on hand at present. Should I add Vienna to the bill some of the recipes have large % of Vienna in the bill others have none.
Yeast, was thinking Wyeast for availability reasons, probably 2124 Bohemian lager or 2206 Bavarian lager. Neither of which I have used before but Wyeast recommend these for this style. Any feedback on yeast?
Hop wise was thinking probably Hallertauer Mittelfruh and maybe a small amount of Tettnang.
I'm looking to brew a 35L batch.
Any feed back that will help me formulate a recipe most gratefully received.
Cheers Rob.
