Hey All,

I was thinking of putting down a Bock.
I haven't done one of these yet - I've had a search and got some ideas.

Here is what I have planned.
1 X 1.8kg Can Muntons Bock
2 X 1.5kg Liquid Dark Malt

I have a tin of Morgans Caramalt - should I add this or should I wait until I get some Choc Malt???

I don't have any Hersbrucker hops and the last time I was at the HBS - they were out of stock. Is there any other hops that I can substitute
But the schedule I was thinking of was 15g @ 10minutes & 25g dry hopped.

I'm really just modifying a recipe that I have come across (no doubt on here - so heads up to the owner)

Any suggestions guys - I've got a lot to learn..........

Consider the Grumpys Bock kit, its excellent, one of the best brews I have made

Second from the top here

maybe just one can of dark malt and one of pale malt as it may turn out too dark in appearance and flavour. Use a good quality yeast and make sure you use enough(2 satchels or make a yeast starter). A saflager or bavarian lager yeast are good options.

And consider some Wyermanns black carafe malt if you can get it. It works a treat in bock.
