Haven't seen much posted on these types of recipes. I've heard of smoked hefeweizen, though never tasted one. But its winter and dark beers seem more appropriate, so I just brewed a smoked dunkelweizen.
Amount Item Type % or IBU
6.00 lb Wheat Malt, Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 58.54 %
2.50 lb Smoked Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 24.39 %
1.50 lb Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 14.63 %
0.25 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 2.44 %
1.00 oz Hallertauer [4.40 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 16.6 IBU
1 Pkgs Weihenstephan Weizen (Wyeast Labs #3068) Yeast-Wheat
OG 1.052
16.6 IBU
14.3 SRM
I'm wondering if anyone has made a similar brew, and if so, how did it come out and what temp. did you ferment at? I'm thinking that I want a little less yeast flavor than usual, so as not to clash with the smoke. I plan to keep temperatures on the lower side, maybe 65-68F (that's where I have it right now at least). Fermentation hasn't kicked off just yet but I imagine I'll wake up to some action. I've never used 3068 but I hear its wise to set up a blow -off tube.
Thoughts?
Will post tasting notes and follow up if anyone is interested
