Maibock *Seasonal

This seasonal lager is a classic representation of the style - a golden, strong Bock with a distinct hop character. Ample Pilsner malt is complimented by Vienna and Munich giving this rich lager a full, malty mouthfeel. German hops provide a distinct noble hop aroma and the specially selected lager yeast produces a traditional clean lager profile.

 

PLEASE NOTE:
We recommend lagering this recipe to achieve the true lager character of this beer style. However, if you are not properly equipped to lager your beer, the recommended yeast will perform well when fermented as an ale. When fermenting as an ale (between 64º - 72ºF) try to keep the beer on the cooler end of the temperature range and allow for some additional time for the lager yeast to ferment down to the FG. If possible, rack to a secondary fermenter for two weeks prior to bottling. 

 

Consult Hop To It to learn more about the equipment necessary to lager your beers. Although this method is not as accurate as temperature-controlled lagering equipment, most climates provide a seasonal window that will allow you to lager beer.
