4.5 oz (125 g) CaraMunich I
1.75oz (50g) Vienna
1.75oz (50 g) Dark Chocolate

.75oz (20g) Perle pellets at 8.5% AA (60 min.)

White Labs  WLP380 Hefeweizen IV Ale

Muntons DME Wheat is 55% wheat, 45% pale malt which is in line with the German legal requirements for wheat beers.
This is a winter sipper so ferment low (60F/16C) to accentuate spicy phenols over banana esters.

Thanks for posting, this recipe looks great. I've been looking up Weizenbock recipes lately, something a la SW Aventinus and this looks like it could do the job. This got 1st BoS last year?
