So I set out to purchase a list of ingredients for a dunkelweizen recipe I formulated on hopville.com. My original intention was to make a banana bread dunkelweisen, medium brown in color, nice and malty. When I went to the brew supply shop the guy at the store changed up my recipe by replacing my 3 lbs. german wheat and 8 oz chocolate malt with 3 lbs chocolate wheat. I have not used chocolate wheat before but my fear is itll be too dark in color, and have a very bitter taste. The recipe he adjusted it to is as follows:
3lbs Chocolate Wheat
2lbs Weyermann Light Munich
2lbs Weyermann Crystal
1lb Weyermann Pilsner
1lb Weyermann Cara-amber
8oz Flaked oats
Anyone have any input?? It just seems to me that there is too much chocolate wheat. Hopville beer calculus puts it at a 60 SRM Black!! I like dark beers, and the color isnt necessarily what im worried about. I just dont want my beer to taste like an ash tray
