Well done, partridge. Looks tasty.
I'm embarrassed to say that I've never actually tasted a weizenbock. Any widely available commercial examples?
Aventinus (Schneider weisse tap 6) drink the nectar of the gods and you'll never look back.
Congrats James!
What sort of temp profile did you ferment at?
Bottle our keg conditioned?

Cheers, that's on the list.
Just ferment at 20c
I bottle conditioned mine. That yeast does finish a little high
