So how did this one turn out?? I'm a big Warsteiner Dunkel fan, and was just curious how this compared....

imo it's near perfect. it tastes like the draft version. i serve it on draft also though.

it's my friends favorite. i brew a batch about every two weeks. i'm on my 5th batch now.

This would be a recipe of my favorite beer. Anyone converted it to an extract or partial mash and tried it? I am an experienced winemaker but have never made beer. I am gearing up to and think this would be the perfect beer for me to make. Suggestions?

I'd LOVE to hear how someone who's more experienced than I would convert this to an extract. As it is, I may just have to wing it and see how it goes. But any advice would be much appreciated.

i DON'T lager it. i ferment in primary for about two weeks usually, and keg it immedeatley afterward, and am drinking it 5 days later and it's delicious.

OMG I don't know how I never noticed this recipe. Warsteiner Dunkel is one of my fave everyday draught beers. SO EXCITED to brew this one, I'm ordering the grains on payday!
