Home brewing made easy starts with a kit like this one. This Doppelbock recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Trippelbock, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Doppelbock is the strong end of the German bock family, first brewed by Paulaner monks in Munich who called their potent lager "liquid bread" and drank it through Lenten fasts. Commercial versions still nod to that origin with names ending in -ator, after the original Salvator. It runs deep amber to brown, intensely malty and warming, with flavors of toasted bread crust and dried fruit.

At nearly ten percent, this batch pushes past the usual doppelbock strength, which is where the playful "Trippelbock" name comes from. A stack of Munich and specialty malts carries the load while German lager yeast keeps it clean underneath all that sweetness.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Crystal 80 in place of the recipe's English Extra Dark Crystal; 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 German Bock Lager (White Labs WLP833).

  • 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
