So after mulling over dozens of recipes and styles, I decided I'm going to try and brew one of my favorites. A Dunkelweizen. Here's the recipe that I've turned up:
8lbs Wheat LME
3lbs Light LME
1/4lb Chocolate malt
1/4lb Black Patent
1/4lb Crystal 80
1/4lb Roasted Barley
1oz of Hallertauer 60min
1/2 oz Hallertauer 30min
1/2 oz Hallertauer 5min
Heifeweizen ale Yeast
Seems like a fairly straightforward recipe. I'm going to do a 3.5 gallon boil with a 5 gal batch. I will steep all my grains together at 150-160 for about 45 minutes. Crank up the heat to a boil and add all my LME and start my hops.
How do I know what my OG/FG should be? I'm assuming 2-3 weeks in the primary should be sufficient. I would like to get about 6% ABV
Any comments, tips, or critiques would be welcome. Thanks
