Dunkles Weissbier Midnight Dunkelweizen

Midnight Dunkelweizen - 5.5 Gallon
-6 Lbs. Wheat LME
-2 Lbs. Dark DME
-16 Oz. Midnight Wheat Malt
-8 Oz. Chocolate Wheat Malt
-2 Oz. Tettnanger (60 Min)
-Danstar Munich Yeast

Steep grain at 158F for 30 minutes. Boil volume - 3 gallons for 60 minutes. Water to 5.5 gallons. Yeast pitched at 72F. Bucket primary for 2 weeks, keg and carbonate. I had a little trouble at first with my new keg getting the hop particles through the poppet, but once it was disassembled and cleaned, it flowed perfectly. Just keep an eye out if you don't strain from your kettle, as there are a lot of debris.

This really turned out to be an awesome beer, albeit a little dark and sweet for the season we're in (it hit 92F the other day here in Morgantown, WV), but I'll definitely be making this again this fall or winter. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!

Cheers!

I've been itching to try a dunkelweizen. If I went ag, would I go with flaked wheat and Munich as subs and calculate to reach an og. What were your numbers og/ fg or abv.? Thanks for posting, looks great.

Yeah, I'd have to imagine that would work well. You may need to use more midnight wheat to get as dark as mine at 46.75 srm however. My OG was 1.057 and it went down to 1.014. I hope you give it a shot, and if you do, let me know how you like it!
