It's simply awesome.

For extract conversion, you could cut out the wheat and the maris otter and replace it with 7.5lbs of wheat LME or 5.75 lbs of wheat DME, and steep the rest of the grains.
 
I've had the pleasure of trying Evan's Dunkleweizen and for such a simple beer, it is simply awesome. I think the key to his was a healthy pitch of yeast to make the phenols subtle, but well-placed. It's my next to brew.

Thanks for the complement, PC. :mug:

It's better than that skunky Rolling Rock, anyway. ;) :p

Yeah it is ;)

I know that everyone has excuses, but I was home sick all last week unable to eat solid food and was quite irritable. Not drinking for a week and I was mistakenly taking out aggression on the intraweb like a moron.

think nothing of it...I need to be called out every now and again. Keeps me fresh. :D

BTW, I have those kinds of days too. Pissed off at the world for whatever stupid reason, so I come on here and answer n00b's "is my beer ruined" questions with "yes, it's trash, you should dump it". :p

I want to brew a dunkleweizen using extract... I found one recipe on the forum (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=14783&highlight=dunkleweizen), but I was wondering if you had others?

In the alternative, do you have any suggestions or guidelines for creating a dunkleweizen recipe using extract?

Thanks for your help!
keep it simple. i don't have my actual recipes with me, but off the top of my head, here's a good one:

6 lbs wheat DME or 7 lbs wheat LME (boil all for the full 60 minutes)
no more than 0.5 lbs chocolate malt (i'd use somewhere around 4-6 ounces)

0.75-1.00 ounces of hallertau or tettnanger for 60 minutes

WLP300 - ferment in primary for 3 weeks in the mid-60s and straight to bottle or keg.
you can go to a higher temp if you want more banana :ban:
