Hi all,
I just finished kegging a bock and during some tasting it seemed too sweet. OG was 1.072, FG was measured at 1.018 - right on the estimated value.
Are bocks supposed to be so sweet? Is there something with the fermentation that could have gone wrong? I made a huge starter and the yeast took off fast.
Recipe
Pilsner liquid extract: 9.0 lb
Vienna malt: 2.0 lb
Crystal 20 malt: 1.0 lb
Black patent malt: 0.25 lb
Perle hops: 1.5 oz @ 60 minutes (23.1 IBU)
3.15 gallons of starter from two yeast packs (one from Omega and one from Wyeast)
Fermented at 57°F, lagered at 32°F
Thanks for any insight.
