Product Details

Make your own beer at home and you may never buy a six-pack again. This Doppelbock recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need

Make your own beer at home and you may never buy a six-pack again. This Doppelbock recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Doppelbock, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Doppelbock was brewed by Paulaner monks in Munich as a liquid bread to sustain them through Lenten fasting. It is a bigger, richer take on the bock, deep amber to brown, with a heavy malt sweetness that carries notes of toast and dark fruit with a little caramel underneath. Most commercial examples still wear the -ator suffix that traces back to the original Salvator.

This version pushes near nine percent, so the strength is real, but the finish stays surprisingly clean for its size. Northern Brewer and Tettnang balance the malt without drawing attention to themselves.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Munich Malt in place of the recipe's Munich II (Weyermann); Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Caramunich® III. We stock dry yeast only, so SafLager W-34/70 (German Lager) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Munich Lager (Wyeast Labs 2308).

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Doppelbock. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
