| Gerhard, " Bocks have more than 16° Plato - Doppelbocks havwe more than 18° Plato." Plato is just an alternative method to calculate alcohol percentage. Brewers prefer Plato but the packaing shows ABV. Czech beer Plato 10°= 3.97%; Plato 12°= 5.07% Plato of 16° is 7.3% ABV Plato of 18° is 8.45% ABV Spaten Optimator which is 7.5% ABV = Plato of 16.34°. Spaten Optimator is a Doppleboch beer and has a Plato grater than 16°. So defintion of boch beer still seems confusing. |
