I saw that grainfather! That is an awesome setup.seems to streamline the brewing day! Well according to your recipe i calculated 12 pounds for my 5.5 gallon batch!

I just went to order ingredients and noticed there was no amount on the Weyermann Vienna malt. How much did you use? Im guessing about 10 to 11 pounds? also at what point did you whirlpool? and at what temperature? Thanks.

Perfect! I cant wait to get started on this recipe! Thank you again....Ill let you know how mine came out....

Thank You Thehaze! This seems just like what im looking for. When did you add the hops? like for bittering? I plan to use half of my hops(huell melon and mandarin barvaria ) for bittering and the rest for dry hopping....What would you recommend for bittering and which for dry hopping? Also...

Does anyone have a German ale recipes using Huell Melon and Bavarian munich hops? I have 3 ounces of each my daughter gave me and /i want to make a genuine German ale...or as close as feasible. THanks in advance!

How long did you mash it for?
