We totally had a bit of a brain cramp when shopping for the grain on the recipe. There was a last minute adjustment from 15 gallons to 20 gallons, but we didn’t adjust the recipe for that. So, while this does taste great, it’s certainly not the proper strength of a Dopplebock…it’s more like a Dunkel.
