Dunkelweissen

[mtbrewer403]

Yesterday I started a new project, a 100% wheat, wheat beer. chose to go with the dunkelweissen style cause thought itd give the best impression for this. now I know youre supposed to have a 50-50 or 75-25 or something ratio when making wheat beers, but had a surplus of wheat at the moment and I wanted to try this to see what happens. (for 1 gallon)

2lb german wheat
.2lb special b
.05 roasted barley

.1 oz perle @60
.1 oz perle @30
.1 oz perle @ 15

half package danstar munich classic yeast

K. Hope it turns out good.

Too more roasted malts. Too more wheat. Take a pils, Vienna or Munich instead of roasted barley.

I'm all for trying new things, but the info in this article regarding Bavarian hefeweizen is spot on. Prosit! https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/hefe-weissbier-bavarian-style.561388/

I'm looking at that beer as slightly pickled and roasty but no malt backbone so the wheat will be flavorless in that beer and seem to thin out the overall flavor, if that's what you want than go for it, no reason not too

Good luck mashing an 89% wheat based beer! Have you ever tried 60%? That's hard enough (stickiness). 89% would be a globby mess. I think even BIABers would struggle with it. I guess it's only a 1 gallon batch though, it's not like dealing with 10lbs of wheat.
