Recipe: One Weizenbock

Style: 15C. Weizenbock

Description:

Weizenbock - hopeing for something like Aventinus. Really want a complex beer
here, so I'll have to move on from my standard Hefeweizen two ingredient brew.
Basically, I want the grist being, a majority of wheat, probably about 65% at
least, then a backing of munich, and perhaps some chocolate, perhaps also some
belgian, amber or marris otter in there as well.
