Hello everyone! Looking for some thoughts/suggestions on my Dunkel I am preparing to brew in the next two weeks.
This will be for a 5gal batch, all grain. 72% brewhouse efficiency.
9# Dark Munich (15L - Avangard)
10oz Caramunich
8oz Cara-Pils
5oz Melanoiden
2oz Acid Malt (this is to reduce the pH to hit a 5.3 mash pH)
0.75oz - Mt. Hood, First Wort Hopping
0.50oz - Mt. Hood, 15min Boil
German Bock Lager Yeast - WLP833 - (will do a step starter to bring cell count up, 0.75L to 1.5L)
Plan to mash at 152F for 60mins, batch sparge. Primary ferment at 50F for 8 days, 58F for 4 days, 68F for 3 days before cold crashing to 32-35F for 5 weeks.
Projected:
OG: 1.051
FG: 1.012
Est ABV: 5.1%
Color: 16 SRM
IBU: 25 (although due to the FWH may seem lower in the finished product)
Water wise, Cleveland city water is basically good to go without any additions aside from campden tablets to remove any chlorine and such. Projected water profile:
Ca: 37
Mg: 10
Na: 15
SO4: 30
Cl: 20
Bicarb: 128 (will reduce with use of acid malt, I believe?)
Have at it!
