Brewing a Weizenbock - Part2





So, after two weeks in primary fermentation, it is finally done.
Bottled at 01/24/2010, tasted the first sample today and it is indeed a strong beer. As predicted, same color as the previous DunkelWeizen recipe, over 6% alcohol.
Here are the final numbers:

OG=1.065
FG=1.013
ABV=6.7%
Color=20
IBU=22

Fermentation took two weeks and I guess this is how the Weihenstephan Weizen yeast works, since my previous batch also took that long.

The taste starts with the alcohol, which gives that warm feeling, then some malt and sweetness.

Here's the fermentation profile.
