Believe it or not, I've never brewed a doppelbock.  My window of opportunity for brewing lagers is so short that I just haven't gotten around to it.  So, I'm looking for a great doppelbock recipe.  I'd prefer one that doesn't need decoction, although I might be able to talk myself into if I have the time.  Step mash is OK.  So, anybody got anything for me? (BTW, I already checked the recipe wiki).

made a very simple dopplebock that i liked

for 5 gallons it would be

12.5 munich
6.25 lb vienna

43 grams hallertauer full 60 minutes

wyeast 2308 or similar

at 70% efficiency i get og 1.094, fg 1.023 and ibu 21.4

i meant to brew it again this winter to have in time for easter sunday.  i have my 10 year recert boards that are taking too much of my time.

Proof once again that I can not type for a darned. Especially on the new smart phone.

I was also thinking about brewing a dopplebock because I'll have a yeast cake of Munich Lager (2308)ready in another week from a Vienna Lager batch.  I had some Spaten Optimator on tap last Sept at a German American Fest and it was delicious.  If I could make something close to that I would be very happy.

You can't brew a doppelbock with batch sparging

Try this Denny. Redbeerman and I brewed this, and it went to the NHC 2nd round in 2011. It's really good!
