How long have folks allowed a dunkel to lager? What have you found to be the 'sweet spot'?
I specialize in Munich styles and have found this: 2 weeks in absolutely insufficient. 4 weeks is ok, but the truly sweet spot is 8 to 10 weeks. I lager around 38F.
Mine are usually amber, but I don't think a dunkel would be very different.
1 day for each 1/100th of OG, so 1.060 is 2 months in the lager, 1.067 is 7 weeks etc.
Yeah, a lot of folks say one week per 8 gravity points so that's close to what you are saying...
...not sure I follow your math of 1.067 being 7 weeks and 1.060 being 8 weeks though...
It could also be residual CO2 coming out of solution.
Can you post your dunkle recipe? Would like to brew a dark lager. aslo update how your dunkle came out after lagering.
