Notes
Hands down my favorite recipe. I got the inspiration for this recipe from "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels. According to Ray Daniel's sources the first bock beers had a barley to wheat ratio of 2:1. I used two row munich and a single temp infusion mash at 153 for 90 min. And boiled the wort for 2.5 hours. The result after 2 months aging under carbonation was a very malty, very drinkable beer. My intentions however were not to brew an historically accurate beer, rather a bock that had a significant portion of wheat malt, but was not overpowered by it.
