Dunkles Weissbier Uncle Dunkel Hefeweizen.

Here's a Dunkel I brewed up and have been getting rave reviews for. It was inspired by my recent trip to Bavaria. I compared it to a Franziskaner and it's dead on as far as color goes. A little roastier than the Franziskaner but so dang good.

Could you use briess midnight wheat malt as a dark wheat substitute and still get the same color?

Dark wheat is basically a munich malt wheat malt. Around 8 to 10L. Midnight wheat is a black malt. Like 200-500L or something. So no, not in those quantities.

Looks awesome. Just jumped on my LHBS's website and sure enough they have dark wheat malt. I saved some 3068 from my last hefe and was thinking of doing a dunkel next. I also happen to have an oz of Tett in the freezer. Thanks for the hookup on my next recipe!

Glad you like the looks of it. Let me know how it turns out for ya!

Hey Marvin,
Did you ever brew this? If so how'd you like it?

It's up next actually. I just kegged a beer and have a free fermenter, so I may try to brew it this weekend if I have time. I brewed BM's OktoberFAST last weekend, so between that and your dunkel I'll be all set to drink like a German this fall.

How quickly do you usually turn this one around? I was drinking my last hefe in about 2 weeks but I'm thinking this might take a little longer.

Oh nice. That Oktoberfest looks good too.
I let it go 2 weeks in the fermenter and kegged it. Was good to go!
