your go to recipe - repeats only!

This is close to RMikeVT's hefe in grain bill but swap out the pils for munich and add some crystal/chocolate malt.

Dunkelweizen

6 lb white wheat
4 lb munich malt
.5 lb Crystal 60
.5 lb Chocolate wheat
rice hulls as needed to avoid stuck sparge

1 oz noble hop @ 60 minutes (I am currently using Mt. Hood @ 5.3AA's). Pitch with Wyeast 3068. Ferment at 67-ish.

I make this as a break from the typical american ale yeasts I use. It is very, very mellow, smooth and drinkable. People often remark about the difference in color and taste, as they expect something more roasty or bold. This recipe gets a lot of positive comments from people and I think that switch-up is what they like. And it's easier to make than all these hoppy ales with crazy hop schedules.

APA

Enough 2 row for 1.055 - 1.060 SG

High alpha hops at 60 min for around 35 IBU

Choice of flavor hops at 30 min for around 15 IBU

Choice of Aroma hops and amount at 3 min

US-05 ferment between 62 - 65 F

Wyeast 3068? 3638? I didn't see a yeast. I will post a repeat dunkel I've made with 3068.

WLP531 Bavarian Hefe. Im sure any hefe yeast would do.

Bump. Let's hear it people, some great recipes here, where's yours? Indulge my laziness, posts your go to's!

My Gumballhead clone is my go to. Made it 6-7 times from extract to all-grain. I've been tweaking in the specialty grains, but its always on the request list.
If I can duplicate it again, my most recent hoppy red will likely become another regular.

Is your gumballhead all amarillo? Recipe please.

My house oatmeal stout based on the Rogue Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout

Referred to around here as "Oats and Hos"

I'm not a huge stout guy, but this one is very smooth and roasty with a nice chocolate finish. It's easy drinking for a stout and it's definitely a crowd pleaser.

Made it with both the Pacman and 1056 yeasts. Pacman is cleaner, 1056 is more bitter and citrusy but still awesome.

Yes, all Amarillo. I'm away from my computer but if you search my posts I think I've put a few of my versions up. Off the top of my head its 2 row and wheat. My last few batches I've used Aromatic malt as that's supposed to be in the real GH. I've also used Caravienne which you find in one of the common clone recipes posted on here. Ive kind of liked the Caravienne version better but I'm still experimenting with the amount of the Aromatic in that version. Real GH uses red wheat but I've used red and white and haven't been able to tell a difference.

For hopping I use 4-4.5 oz per batch depending on the AA of my Amarillo. I think additions are at 60, 15, 5, 0 and a big 2 oz. dry hop. I use US-05 to ferment which is not what 3F uses as their house yeast, but its what I keep around and use for almost all my batches so its convenient.
