I just ran my all grain recipe through Beer Tools and it spat back 26.5 IBUs.

The recipe is based off of Jamil’s in his Brewing Classic Styles book.

I have heard the argument that this bock can be a bit hoppier than other bocks, but I am happy with my recipe and I think it will be balanced.

According to my calculations this beer won’t have near enough IBUs….. I almost NONE!!! 5.5 maybe 6…. I’m sorry but those that know there beer know that a Maibocks should have a minimum of 20ish all the way up to 32 or 33…. Ales have more hops than this. Again according to my calculator this would have a lovely color no doubt, but extremely unbalanced. I hate to knock someone on my very first post here but this IS NOT a Bock of any sort.

Thanks, John!

Brewed this in Dec and tried a bottle late February. Excellent and I’m sure will improve a bit more! Wll put another batch up for Oktoberfest!

Thanks, John - I am brewing this one today - I will let you know how it comes out with the Tettnang hops in April or May.

I hadn’t considered it, but I don’t see why not. Could be an interesting comparison to make.

John - this looks like a solid recipe - thanks for sharing - have you tried or considered trying a 1/2 oz of Tettnang hops in place of the 30 minute 1/2 oz of Hallertauer hops for a slightly spicer and more complex hop nose on this Maibock?

Not looking to have an overly hoppy beer. The style guide states hop flavor and aroma should be low.

If you are looking to make a hoppy beer, this may not be the style for you. This style is more dominated by malt character.
