I really have a thing going for wheat beers at the moment. I currently have a Dunkelweizen in the fermenter, which is my third wheat based beer in the last five brews.
I'm going to have a crack at a Weizenbock for warming hearts in deep January and February. The recipe is largely an extension of my Dunkelweizen, but with wheat comprising 15% more of the grain bill, and with the addition of melanoidin and rice husks.
Would be pleased to receive feedback on that recipe. I did originally consider 250g of chocolate malt, but was talked out of it by a local friend.
I am quite worried about a stuck mash or sparge, as I did have one recently when using 6.25kg of only Maris Otter. Hence the rice hulls, but I don't really know if they should be considered in the total grain bill nor if I have enough in that bill. Internet research tells me about 5% is generally a maximum.
I'll be adding 30g of Perle hops (7.3% AA)
My mash regime is generally:
Mash in @ 45c
15 mins at 48c
20 mins at 53c
60 mins at 67c
5 mins at 75c
Then a 60 minute boil, with the hops added immediately.
I did see a previous thread on here from @strange-steve and his Weizenbock adventures. I only hope mine turns out as nice.
