Hi all
I've had a nearly year long break and have a bag of grain that I ordered from craftbrewer nearly a year ago that I have no idea what recipe it was for. I can find the grain bill with my order history, so here it is:

2.5kg Pale pilsner (Barrett Burston) (50%)
2kg Munich II (Weyermann) (40%)
500g Melanoidin (Weyermann) (10%)
1kg light dry malt

Hops, I have a few to choose from, but happy to get more if there's a ripper recipe I need to try. They've all been sealed and stored in the freezer:

40g Amarillo 8.4%
40g Chinook 12.5%
20g Motueka 6.9%
15g Fuggles 4.9%
90g Hallertau tradition 4.4%
50ish g Saaz Czech 8%

Any suggestions? I'm thinking with the extra kg of dry malt it might have been going to be something strong, maybe a belgian? I know whenever I do an order I make the recipe in Beermate based on an online recipe that sounds good, then I do the order but somehow when transferring my files between computers my beermate recipes went south, so I'm guessing now and it's been a while.
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Mate that is a bock.

Probably a dopplebock.

Aim for a SG of 1070 or so and bitter with hallertau to 20 ibus.

Cheers
 
Geez I was getting adventurous wasn't I! You're right those go that does ring a bell. I do love a good bock. Thanks:)
 
Another question, do I need a specialist yeast for bock or is the S-189 lager yeast going to do the job. I have that in the fridge, probably because I ordered it for the bock
 
Ok, next question. This forum's changed a bit I guess since I was last really active, and I'm having trouble finding the recipe I would have gone from. With the grain bill and hops, target IBU and all that I can just make one up, but I'm interested to know is there a way to search the recipes? I can only look at them in a certain number of recipes per page, but can't seem to search for all recipes that have 'bock' in them for instance. If I open advanced search I can search only in the recipe DB forum, but this brings up posts about a certain recipe with no link to the actual recipe.

What am I missing?
