Depot Dopplebock

This a recipe for a German Dopplebock that I may brew in the future for
the AHA club-only competition. My inspiration is the fantastic Ayinger
Celebrator. Should be very rich and malty, but well balanced.

Brewer: Christopher McMath Email: mcmath@colorado.edu
Beer: Depot Dopplebock Style: Dopplebock
Type: Partial mash Size: 5.5 gallons
Color:
45 HCU (~20 SRM)
Bitterness: 30 IBU
OG: 1.080 FG: 1.018
Alcohol: 8.0% v/v (6.2% w/w)
Water: 10 gallons of declorinated Boulder, CO water
Grain: 3 lb. German Pilsner
1 lb. Wheat malt
1 lb. German Vienna
5 lb. German Munich
2 oz. Belgian aromatic
.5 lb. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils)
.5 lb. Belgian CaraMunich
.5 lb. Belgian CaraVienne
.25 lb. Belgian chocolate
Mash: 75% efficiency
step infusion with rests at 90 for 30 min, 122 for 30 min, 154 for
70 min and 170 for 20 min. Sparge with five gallons of 170 degree
water.
Boil: 90 minutes SG 1.067 6.5 gallons
3 lb. Light malt extract
Hops: 1 oz. Hallertauer Mittelfruh (5% AA, 60 min.)
.5 oz. Tettnanger (4.5% AA, 60 min.)
1 oz. Hallertauer Mittelfruh (5% AA, 30 min.)

Yeast: Probably wyeast 2112, california lager, 1/2 gallon starter. I am going
to try to keep it as cool as possible. Using the wyeast bavarian
produces too many esters at above lagering temp.
Log: Not brewed yet. Ferment near 50 degrees f and age cool for at least
2 months.
Carbonation: Use 3/4 cup corn sugar/5 gallons for standard carbonation.
Tasting: Not brewed yet. Will update later.
