My take on MaiBock sometimes also referred to as Heller Bock. Mai means the month of May in German (Pronounced May) and Heller means Pale in German.
Introduction:
After long winter months of drinking darker colored Bocks, May Bock ushers in spring, with a pale version of a traditional Bock. Traditionally served during the month of May and during Spring Fests.
The absence of caramel malts keeps this May Bock light-colored, while the large quantity of Munich and Light Pilsen base malts provides body, residual sweetness and Bock alcohol strength.
Adheres to German Reinheitsgebot (purity order) of 1516.
Ingredients for 5 gallons:
7 gallons spring Water
3 lbs Munich Dry Malt Extract
6 lbs Light Pilsen Dry Malt Extract
1/2 oz (14 grams) Hallertau hops
11g Saflager 34/70 Lager Yeast
Estimated stats:
OG 1.076
AVB 7.5%
IBU 12
Color 6 SRM
