"The Illuminator" Doppelbock (It will give you temporary insight into many of life's mysteries.)

 GRAINS/MALT  HOPS  YEAST/EXTRAS
11 lbs. Pale Extract
1 lb. Munich grain
1 lb. Crystal 90 L grain
1/2 lb. Crystal 120 L grain
2 oz. Tettnang hops (boil)
1 oz. Hallertau hops (mid boil)
1 oz. Tettnang hops (late boil)
German or Oktoberfest Lager yeast
(Ale option - German Ale yeast)
 INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Steep grains in a mesh bag while heating 2 gallons of water to boiling.
2. Remove grains and add malt extract, stirring to dissolve thoroughly. Stir gently but frequently throughout the boil cycle.
3. Add 2 oz. Tettnang hops and begin timing a 30 minute simmering boil cycle.
4. With 15 minutes remaining in the 30 minute boil, add the Hallertau hops.
5. With 2 - 3 minutes remaining, add 1 oz. Tettnang hops.
6. At the end of the 30 minute boil, cover kettle and cool as quickly as possible. We strongly recommend using a wort chilling coil.
7. When beer has been cooled to yeast pitching temperature, pour into fermenter, add additional water and add yeast.
8. Remember that fermentation activity level will slow with temperature reduction. At the height of activity a lagering airlock will bubble much less frequently. Use stabilized hydrometer readings to verify the end of fermentation before bottling.
