I'm looking to brew two 2.5 batches in the coming weeks, porter for myself and a dunkelweizen for my wife. So, I'd like to know what ingredients I can use for both beers, and just get some general comments on the recipes. Here's what I was thinking:
Porter:
2.5 gallon batch - full boil
3# light dme
.5# chocolate malt
.175# black patent
.25# crystal 60
.5 oz. cascade (60 min)
wyeast 1056 (washed)
.5 pint cold brew coffee
OG: 1.059
FG: 1.015
IBU: 21
Dunkelweizen:
2.5 gallon batch - full boil
3# wheat dme (60/40)
.175# chocolate malt
.175# black patent
.25 crystal 60
.5 oz. saaz (60 min)
wyeast 3068 (washed)
OG: 1.054
FG: 1.014
IBU: 13
I'd be trying to use the chocolate, black patent, and crystal for both. My dad has some homegrown Cascade and Saaz, which is the reason for their selection. I could buy some Fuggles for the porter, but I figured since I'm doing one 60 min addition, it wouldn't matter that much.
So, what do you think? Is that going to be a strange dunkel?
