  • 2 lbs Belgian Caramunich

    Used predominantly in the production of dark beers such as milds, browns, porters, and stouts.

  • 1 oz Hallertau - 4.5 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Hallertau

    Good for all around bittering and finishing stock ales, Belgian ales, and continental style lagers. Aroma is mild, pleasant and flowery.

  • 1 oz Tettnanger - 4.5 AA% pellets; boiled 1 min

    Tettnanger

    Mild, slightly spicy. 'Noble'.

  • Wyeast 3766 Cider

    Wyeast 3766 Cider

    Crisp dry fermenting yeast with big, fruity finish. Creates a nice balance for all types of apples, pears and other fruit or fermentables. Allows fruit character to dominate the profile.

Notes

Actually used German Caramunich. Mashed grains in 1/2 gallon of water for 30 minutes at 170 degrees. Rinsed with 170 degrees water. All water carbon/sediment filtered. Failed to achieve the desired O.G. of 1.074 using the above recipe?? Any ideas why? Anyway, O.G. is 1.066, so I failed in this first attempt at an extract Dopplebock. Aerated using aquarium pump & stainless stone for 20 minutes. Pitched 700ml of starter, using the Wyeast Octoberfest, just past high krausen. Hopefully I can edit this as the brew progresses.
