Notes: Overall Impression:
A strong, malty, fruity, wheat-based ale combining the best malt and yeast flavors of a weissbier (pale or dark) with the malty-rich flavor, strength, and body of a Dunkles Bock or Doppelbock.

Aroma:
Medium-high to high malty-rich character with a significant bready-grainy wheat component. Paler versions will have a bready-toasty malty richness, while darker versions will have a deeper, richer malt presence with significant Maillard products. The malt component is similar to a helles bock for pale versions (grainy-sweet-rich, lightly toasted) or a dunkles bock for dark versions (bready-malty-rich, highly toasted, optional caramel). The yeast contributes a typical weizen character of banana and spice (clove, vanilla), which can be medium-low to medium-high. Darker versions can have some dark fruit aroma (plums, prunes, grapes, raisins), particularly as they age. A low to moderate alcohol aroma is acceptable, but shouldn’t be hot or solventy. No hop aroma. The malt, yeast, and alcohol intertwine to produce a complex, inviting, prominent bouquet.

Appearance:
Pale and dark versions exist, with pale versions being light gold to light amber, and dark versions being dark amber to dark ruby-brown in color. A very thick, moussy, long-lasting white to off-white (pale versions) or light tan (dark versions) head is characteristic. The high protein content of wheat impairs clarity in this traditionally unfiltered style, although the level of haze is somewhat variable. Suspended yeast sediment can contribute to the cloudiness.

Flavor:
Like the aroma, a medium-high to high malty-rich flavor together with a significant bready-grainy wheat flavor. Paler versions will have a bready, toasty, grainy-sweet malt richness, while darker versions will have deeper, bready-rich or toasted malt flavors with significant Maillard products, optional caramel. Low to moderate banana and spice (clove, vanilla) yeast character. Darker versions can have some dark fruit flavor (plums, prunes, grapes, raisins), particularly as they age. A light chocolate character (but not roast) is optional in darker versions. No hop flavor. A low hop bitterness can give a slightly sweet palate impression, but the beer typically finishes dry (sometimes enhanced by a light alcohol character). The interplay between the malt, yeast, and alcohol adds complexity and interest, which is often enhanced with age.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-full to full body. A fluffy or creamy texture is typical, as is the mild warming sensation of substantial alcohol content. Moderate to high carbonation.

Comments:
A Weissbier brewed to bock or doppelbock strength. Schneider also produces an Eisbock version. Pale and dark versions exist, although dark is more common. Pale versions have less rich malt complexity and often more hops, as with doppelbocks. Lightly oxidized Maillard products can produce some rich, intense flavors and aromas that are often seen in aged imported commercial products; fresher versions will not have this character. Well-aged examples might also take on a slight sherry-like complexity.

History:
Aventinus, the world’s oldest top-fermented wheat doppelbock, was created in 1907 at the Schneider Weisse Brauhaus in Munich.

Characteristic Ingredients:
A high percentage of malted wheat is used (by German brewing tradition must be at least 50%, although it may contain up to 70%), with the remainder being Munich- and/or Vienna-type barley malts in darker versions, and more Pils malt in paler versions. Some color malts may be used sparingly. A traditional decoction mash can give the appropriate body without cloying sweetness. Weizen ale yeasts produce the typical spicy and fruity character. Too warm or too cold fermentation will cause the phenols and esters to be out of balance and may create off-flavors. Hop choice is essentially irrelevant, but German varieties are most traditional.

Style Comparison:
Stronger and richer than a Weissbier or Dunkles Weissbier, but with similar yeast character. More directly comparable to the Doppelbock style, with the pale and dark variations. Can vary widely in strength, but most are in the bock to doppelbock range.

Entry Instructions:
The entrant will specify whether the entry is a pale or a dark version.

Notes: Dette er et forsøk på å ballanser mellom lite carasmak og mørk farge.
Det er følgende i denne:
11.0kg Muntons Pale Ale EBC 4,4 = kr 158.40
00.7kg Weyermann Cara Hell EBC 50= kr 012.32
01.0kg Castle Malting Wheat Blanc
EBC 2,5 = kr 014.40
kr 185.12
Target IBU = 75
Denne ble atskillig mørkere enn planlagt og smaken vil bli mere dominert av CARA. Det skulle vært EBC=30 ikke 50 som duden malte opp uten å spørre meg om det var OK.

Dette er det som kom ut av brygginga 15. december 2014, mhp efficiency etc.

Notes: Hops:
As only very little hop is used and hardly any hop aroma is perceived in the style, you can use whatever hop you find at home. But be careful: Stay below IBU 5 to prevent impeding the lactos.

Boil:
Traditionally Berliner Weisse is not boiled at all. This however was boiled ca. 30 mins to prevent DMS.

Lactos:
I usually grow my own Lactos. I take a hand full of malt and put it in a simple, warm DME wort. To give the lactos a headstart, I usually add a little lactic acid (80%, from Amazon). That way only acidophile microbes will grow in the wort. Keep it in a warm place – I now use a Yoghurt maker to keep the temerature between 25-35°C, but had success with a thermos flask, too. Every morning, I pour away about 1/3 of the wort and replace it with new wort. After one week I stop pouring away and only keep the temperature between 25 and 35°C. As soon as it tastes lemony sour, it's time to brew. Pour the sour wort right into your fermentor at primary fermentation.

Brett:
Berliner Weisse traditionally incorporates Brettannomyces. I got my strain from two bottles of Brewbaker Jahrgangsweisse 2013 – a commercially brewed Craft Berliner Weisse from germany. Fits the style perfectly.

Strawberries:
This Berliner Weisse is aged for about one month on fresh strawberries. I used 500g of mashed Strawberries for ca. 5 liters of beer. Add it in secondary fermentation.

Notes: - Recipe similar to batch 3.31 switched amber to munich.
- FWH, so bitterness just above style should be ok.
- Yeast: let's try a 'new' dry yeast, after 20 years...
