This is close to RMikeVT's hefe in grain bill but swap out the pils for munich and add some crystal/chocolate malt.
Dunkelweizen
6 lb white wheat
4 lb munich malt
.5 lb Crystal 60
.5 lb Chocolate wheat
rice hulls as needed to avoid stuck sparge
1 oz noble hop @ 60 minutes (I am currently using Mt. Hood @ 5.3AA's). Pitch with Wyeast 3068. Ferment at 67-ish.
I make this as a break from the typical american ale yeasts I use. It is very, very mellow, smooth and drinkable. People often remark about the difference in color and taste, as they expect something more roasty or bold. This recipe gets a lot of positive comments from people and I think that switch-up is what they like. And it's easier to make than all these hoppy ales with crazy hop schedules.
