Dortmunder Recipe

[Charmin1073]

OK. I'm trying to make a recipe with grains that I have on hand. It looks like I have the ingredients to make a Dortmunder. I love Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold. I know there website says 2row and Carmel 60, but I'm gonna use what I have left over. Let me know what you think.

Probably won't brew this for a couple of weeks. Have to free up a couple of fermenters

It seems a little hop forward for a Dort. But should be tasty.

I also like to use Danish Lager for my Dorts.

Yeah, I was on the Great Lakes website and their Dortmunder Gold is spec'd at 30 with the same hops except for the Amarillo I added at flame out through the hopback.

Ok. It's been fermenting for 2 weeks. I gradually increases temperature to 56 degrees over the 2 weeks. Took a gravity reading and is at 1.020. Needs to be 1.015. There was still a layer of krausen on the top. I made a 2 liter starter for each 5 gallon carboy. Should I put it in dis ethyl rest and see if it drops it down or just up the temp for a couple of days to see what happens?

Thanks

I think you are at the right gravity for doing it if it needs it.

There are two things you can do: 1) pull a sample, let it warm and check for diacytal. It will present as buttery, butterscotch, or slickness. 2) just do a diacytal rest. Just doing it shouldn't hurt anything even if you don't need it.
