This week it’s Helles Bock, otherwise known as Maibock. This is a strong malty German lager but much paler in color than you might expect for a bock beer. In addition to brewing this up, Martin experiments with chilling wort to lager temperatures using a combination of a JaDeD immersion chiller, a couple of bags of ice, and a little bit of invention.
Recipe:
6 lbs Pilsner; German
5 lbs Maris Otter
3 lbs Munich Malt – 10
2.00 oz Hallertauer Pellets – Boil 60.0 min
1.00 oz Hallertauer Pellets – Boil 15.0 min
