Hey guys Im still wet under the ears having done only 3 extract batches to date so bare with me here
I tend to jump into things w/out doing all the research I saw Deathbrewers post for easy stove top partial mash and I figured I could do that so I took a recipe of his for a dunkelweizen and tweaked it (w/out understanding diastatic power and such). This is what I have right now but im finding out that I may not get a good conversion with the grains that I've chosen as most are just flavor and color I guess
here is what my recipe looked like and what I have sitting at my house right now. Below I will put what I believe my changes should be to get this on track and you guys can let me know what you think please!
Size: 5.24 gal
Efficiency: 70.0%
Attenuation: 75.0%
Calories: 164.95 kcal per 12.0 fl oz
Original Gravity: 1.050 (1.044 - 1.056)
Terminal Gravity: 1.012 (1.010 - 1.014)
Color: 18.83 (14.0 - 23.0)
Alcohol: 4.88% (4.3% - 5.6%)
Bitterness: 14.5 (10.0 - 18.0)
Ingredients:
1.0 lb Carawheat®
2.0 lb Dark Wheat Malt
2.0 lb Munich 10L Malt
.5 lb Pale Chocolate Malt
3.0 lb Dry Wheat
1.0 oz Hallertau (3.8%) - added during boil, boiled 50.0 min
.5 oz Hallertau Tradition (6.0%) - added during boil, boiled 5.0 min
.5 oz Hallertau Tradition (6.0%) - added dry to secondary fermenter
.25 oz Orange Peel (dried) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min
1.0 ea White Labs WLP380 Hefeweizen IV Ale
Now from what I was told is that I should sub some of the munich for pale malt and perhaps some of the dark wheat malt for a regular malted wheat. Im thinking of this as my fix (below)

The thing I dont understand is how to get the diastatic power information from ordering? I'm also not positive how the darker malts are translating to poor diastatic power (converting starch to sugar correct?).
I put all of my original recipe into beer tools and everything seemed to look fine so I'm confused as to why my first recipe wont work. But of course I will take the advice of those of you that have experience. Any tips or advice for me?
