Doppelbach ?

[The Brew Mentor]

I am in the planning stages for a Doppelbach.
I have a nice big pitch of WLP820 coming off my Festbier and want to take advantage of it.
For starters, I'm thinking;

75% Barke Munich
20% Munich 2
5% Caramunich 2
~ 20 IBU Hallertau Mittelfruh or Tradition
WLP820
Targeting ~7.5% ABV
2 step or single infusion mash with a 90 minute boil
Munich water profile
Thoughts?

What OG are you shooting for?

Double creek?

Recipe looks good, fermentation will make or break this beer. Start cold, then let it heat itself after high krauesen.

A doppelbock (as opposed to a bock) will be nice with that grain bill. It will be malty all right.

What OG are you shooting for?

1.075-1.080
I should get 71% attenuation so a finish of 1.021-1.024
7.5% - 8%

Double Creek? sorry, you lost me there.

Should have a good kick to it!

In German, "bach" means a small stream. "Bock" technically means "buck", as in male deer, but in the case of "doppelbock" it's a corruption of a city name, Einbeck, where bock beer was first brewed.

So if you have a double small stream, is it a medium?

Well, if you wanted to talk about a really small stream, you could use Bächlein...

Well, not sure how I derailed on the spelling, but I'm sure it's not my worst mistake! Thanks for the play on words and the history lesson.
