Here are a few recent blog entries and videos about our new iteration of the Open Source Beer Project. We sweetened the deal in our newsletter last week. Anyone who comes up with the direction we ultimately proceed in will receive a Ralph Steadman-signed bottle of the 2005 release of Gonzo Imperial Porter. But just […]
It’s been a while since we’ve written about the Open Source Beer Project, but don’t think that we’ve forgotten about you or our Open Source Beer concept. We’ve been monitoring the blogosphere and people are still talking about this unique project.
Flying Dog has been kicking around a bunch of ideas recently but before we […]

The week has finally arrived. The beer has been brewed, the bottles have been filled, corked and labeled and we’re ready to go. The Great American Beer Festival is here and we’re finally ready to unleash our next edition of the Wild Dog Series.
Collaborator Doppelbock is released this week!
Of course the beer will […]
We just finished the label and hang tag design for the Collaborator Doppelbock and we thought everyone might like to get sneak peek. Of course the TTB (government) has to approve the label, but we don’t expect having to make too many changes.
The silver trim on the label will be a metallic silver and […]
We have decided on a name for the Open Source Beer. Keeping in line with the tradition of Doppelbock names ending in “ATOR” (see the 9th paragraph), the Open Source Beer will be called “Collaborator” as a tribute to all of those that helped us create the recipe.
Collaborator will be the latest edition in the […]
As far as malt we have decided to go with Wyerman malt. We incorporate this malt in some of our other beers and we have had medal winning success. As far as verities, we are going to keep things on the simpler side. For the base malt we will be using Munich Type 1 this […]
From the desk of Matt Brophy, Head Brewer at Flying Dog Brewery…
Idea of an American twist welcomed. Let’s find a well suited American grown bittering hop. Idea of late flavor addition up for consideration. What variety and when exactly added?
Malt selection, good input. Considering a straight infusion mash, the suggestion of using Melanoidin and Cara […]
Denver’s Flying Dog Brewery today announced plans to release what is believed to be the first “open source” beer to hit the market in the U.S. “Open source” is a term most commonly used in the software industry and refers to any program whose source code is made available for use or modification as […]
Flying Dog is setting out to make a kick ass German Style Doppelbock. The recipe you see here is a bare bones, as simple as you can get Doppelbock recipe.
What we want from you:
There is a lot up for debate and nothing is set in stone. We are confident that with the help of YOU, […]
Keep this desciption in mind as you make comments on the recipe.
Malty sweetness is dominant but should not be cloying. Malt character is more reminiscent of fresh and lightly toasted Munich-style malt; more so than caramel or toffee malt character. Some elements of caramel and toffee can be evident and contribute to complexity, but the […]
System Specifics
Brew Length: 50 BBL
Kettle Full: 1800-2000 Gallons

Grist Weight: Up to 3200 lbs (Due to high gravity, we will make two mashes to fill our kettle)
Malt is the key to making a great tasting Dopplebock. We want to use what a German Brewmeister would use in brewing an authentic German Dopplebock. Munich, Vienna and even Pilsner Malt should be considered. Using the parameters in the Style Description section, and consideing the size of our system, we want YOU to decide […]
Our Hop selection process should be considerably easier than the Malt selection, since this lager’s foundation is based on Malt. But nonetheless, it is extremely important that we are prudent in our Hop selection so that we achieve a well-balanced Dopplebock.
Being true to the style, we should give primary consideration to German Hop varieties. There […]
