Smooth Bockenator is back from the future to populate the present with this malt driven wheat beer. Combining the best flavours of a Dunkelweizen with the rich strength and body of a ‘bock’, it’s the perfect choice to terminate your thirst. Nearly as heavy bodied as another famous terminator, this Weizenbock is much more aware of your senses offering hints of banana and chocolate with a sweet warm finish. Say hasta la vista to whatever you’re drinking and say hola to the Bockenator.

1. Mix

The Day Before: Line a pot (at least 4 litres) with a mesh cleaning cloth (pulled straight from the
pack).
Place the Light Crystal Malt and Midnight Wheat Malt in a plastic zip-lock sandwich bag and crack
them using a rolling pin.
Add the cracked Light Crystal Malt and Midnight Wheat Malt and 3 litres of cold water, fit the lid and
sit in the fridge for 24hrs.
Brew Day: Remove from the fridge then gather up the corners of the mesh cloth and lift, allowing the
liquid to drain from the Light Crystal Malt and Midnight Wheat Malt back into the pot.
Place the strained liquid onto the stovetop and bring to the boil.
Cool the liquid by placing the pot in a bath of cold water for about 15mins.
Add the Preacher's Hefe Wheat extracts, Wheat Malt Extract and the cooled liquid to the fermenting
vessel (FV) then stir to dissolve.
Top up with cold tap water to the 20 litre mark, stir thoroughly.
Check the temperature and top up to the 23 litre mark with warm or cool water (refrigerated if
necessary) to start the brew at 22C.
Sprinkle the Munich Classic dry yeast & both brew can yeasts over the surface.
Insert the Krausen Kollar and fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 22C-24C.
Fermentation should take 10 to 14 days.
On day 10 check the specific gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.
Fermentation is complete once the specific gravity is stable over 2 days.
Expected reading should be in range of 1014 to 1018.

3. Bottle

Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps (use only one carbonation drop for bottles
intended to be stored for a longer period).
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the PET bottles.
Naturally conditioned Strong brews, being higher in alcohol and fuller of body, benefit from extended
conditioning at or above 18C.
Try one less chilled to get the benefits of the extra aromas and flavour.
Remember these brews are very high in alcohol and are not intended to be consumed as a session
beer.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 7.6% ABV.
