- Source Notes:
- September 2019, Vol. 25, No. 4 page 103. Safe to say that no lager calls to mind fall and winter seasons as much as a bock. This is probably the one style of beer that would be hard to envision ever being "IPA-ified". This is the essence of malt with just enough alcohol behind to be warming without being an overpoweringly boozy sugar bomb. Leave the doppelbock for the deepest darkest days of winter when you reach for a barleywine or Russian imperial stout. In other words, bock requires a deft threading of richness and drinking.
- Notes:
- This is a single infusion mash. Heat 20.8 qts of water, add 1 tsp. of calcium chloride. Mash grains for 60 minutes at 155 F. Sparge with enough water to collect 6.5 gallons of wort in the kettle. Bring wort to a boil and boil for 60 minutes, adding hops as indicated. Add a kettle coagulant of your choice if you so desire. After the boil is complete, give the wort a long stir to create a whirlpool and let settle for 10 minutes, then begin to chill. Bring down to yeast-pitching temperature, aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment between 48-56 F. Ferment for 2 weeks at this temperature then raise the temperature to low 70s and hold for 2 days. Transfer to a secondary and lager for 1-4 weeks at 33-35 F. Bottle or force carbonate per normal.
