I am looking to brew Jamil's Dunkelweizen from BYO's Jan-Feb issue. I am new to Beersmith and am trying to add two items I don't see on the pre-loaded list:
8.8 oz. of CaraMunich malt (60L) or similar
3.12 AAU Hallertau pellet hops (0.78 oz/22 at 4% alpha acids)
I chose the Hallertauer Mittelfrueh as it has the same AA (though I am unsure of what 0.78 oz/22 means). I left my recipe at 1 oz as if I change to 0.78, the results are WAY off.
I chose the Caramel/Crystal Malt 60L.
My results aren't matching up with Jamil's though.
His expected results:
OG = 1.051
FG = 1.013
IBU = 15
SRM = 15
ABV = 5.1%
Beersmith results:
OG =1.048
FG = 1.012
IBU = 13.9
SRM = 16.3
ABV = 4.75%
Now they are close but not quite there, I am wondering if my substitutions are poor choices? Perhaps whatever program he used was slightly different? Can anyone help explain this foolish question, please?
Here is my recipe:
4.4 lbs Wheat LME
2.2 Amber LME
0.55 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt 60L
0.16 lb Carafa II
1 oz. Hallertauer Mittelfrueh (60 min)
Wyeast 3068 Weihnstephan Weizen
Any comments, suggestions, hints, or anything would be greatly appreciated!
