So the first beer on the new Blichmann RIMS will be a Weizenbock.  I figure what the hell might as well brew a simple beer for the first ever beer on the brand new fancy system.   Ron who sold me the system walked me through it’s use at his shop and I was as impressed with all his thought in building the system as the system itself.     By the way Main Grain in Abita Springs is an extremely nice brew shop that’s just an awesome place to hang out while shopping brew supplies.

Well it’s time for me to get these bocks and barleywines brewed.   Dixie Cup is in 6 months and they’ve got to age if they’re going to win there’s no doubt about it.    Weizenbock will be the last in my spell of brewing all of German Wheat & Rye category so here it goes.

Update 5/29/2013

The OG was low due to not being familiar with the new system so the gravity was a tad over 1.06.   The final gravity was about 1.013 which is fairly low for the style.   This beer is quite clear, beautiful and tastes very nice albeit a little on the light side.    I plan on fixing this via an attempt at freezing to concentrate it in to style.  I suppose it’ll be an Eisbock of a weizenbock which should be fun to do!    I’ve got several months to get this guy just right so no worries.
