My next batch up is going to be a Dunkelweizen (extract). Just wondering if anyone has any advice, comments, criticism etc for me. It's a basic wheat beer with a half pound of Carafa III steeped for 30' to give it some color. That and I happened to have it laying around so what the hell. I'm going to try a few new things this time including a full volume boil and using half of the LME as a late addition. Here's the recipe...
Steep .5 lb Carafa III for 30' @ 155F
BOIL 1.5 lb Wheat LME (60')
.25oz Tettnanger Pellets
----------
4.5lb Wheat LME (15')
1lb Bavarian Wheat DME (15')
.75oz Tettnanger Pellets (15')
Irish Moss
Yeast Nutrient
Wyeast 3056 Bavarian Wheat
I'm wondering if I should add more of the LME as the late-addition, maybe 75% instead of 50%, any thoughts?
edit: After looking at this some more I'm thinking it might be best to move .25oz of the hops to the later addition and only boil 1.5lb of the LME to begin with. Then I'll add the rest of the LME and the DME during the last 15 minutes.
Does anyone have experience with the 3056? Anything I should know about this strain? Anything else?
As far as fermentation goes I figure I could just leave this one in primary for 3-4 weeks then go straight to bottle from there. Or would this need some time in secondary?
