I have about 5 pounds of Weyermann wheat malt and a bunch of a local malt that I'm not sure whether is better characterized as a dark Munich (20°L) or an aromatic malt (maybe that's a distinction w/o a difference.) It is diastatic but weak. I want to brew something 6.5 to 7% ABV using about 55% wheat and 45% the 20° malt, and WB-06 yeast. Not sure what hops but just a light dose of 60-minute hops, probably Mt. Hood, Willamette, or Tradition, and no late hops.
I suppose just call it "beer", or more specifically "strong amber wheat beer", and don't enter it in any BJCP competitions where it needs to match a style But do the Germans have a name for a beer like this? It seems closest to a Weizenbock but it's not strong enough. |
