Woot!zenBock
6-27-11 Lots of stuff goin on today. Its the Friday of Memorial Weekend so I’m off for 4 days.
Picked, cut up, and froze about 12 lbs of rhubarb for wine. Looks like I got quite a bit. Been thinking this over, and decided that I might wanna use some grape juice in there with the wine. maybe. Ok on to the brew. wer gonna be brewing My Woot!zenbock. pretty big for what I normally do. Woot!zenbock
5 lbs munich
1 can of wheat LME
3 lbs wheat malt
2 lbs pilsner
.5 lbs special B
.5 lbs Chocolate malt
1 oz Pearle @ 60
1 oz hallertaur @ 15
1 packet munich wheat yeast think I am gonna try to slightly step mash this up. gonna mash at 152 for 30 then take some out and reheat it and raise to 157. gonna give it a shot any way. Ok lookin at 3 ½ gallons at 165 in my pre heated tun.
just a bit shy. got 151 but gonna leave it. I dont really know how much more boiling water to add to hit 158 but gonna start at about ½ gallon.
found a claculator for it at the Rackers site.
Yep got 158. another 30 min.
Got 2 ¾ gallons first run. filled mash tun to top again and got 3 gallons in second.
whoops I think I got too much now. will have to boil down.
Dont think It really lost a whole lot, gonna go another ½ hr.
still quite a bit. filled my 6 gallon carboy and still a gallon left OG 1.075 a bit low but had to much volume. but, works for me
