Hello,
I plan to make a 5.5 gal Dunkelweizen. It will be the first AG recipe I tried to develop myself. I used Jamil's book plus other recipes on this and other sites to try and come up with something great. My favorite dunkelweizen is actually Dark and Curvy from Piece Brewery in Chicago. I cannot seem to find that recipe so I am shooting from the hip. Below is a draft that I've come up with:
6 lbs 8.0 oz Wheat Malt, Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 53.6 %
2 lbs 12.0 oz Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 2 22.7 %
1 lbs 12.0 oz Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 3 14.4 %
6.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 4 3.1 %
6.0 oz Chocolate Wheat Malt (400.0 SRM) Grain 5 3.1 %
6.0 oz Special B Malt (180.0 SRM) Grain 6 3.1 %
1.00 oz Hallertauer [4.80 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 7 14.4 IBUs
1.0 pkg Weihenstephan Weizen (Wyeast Labs #3068
Any comments? I also had a crazy idea of adding a small amout of cocoa to the boil. Is that nuts? If not, how much would you add?
Any feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Pat
