Hi, I'm new to the forum and blown away by all the great information found here. Great site!
Hopefully somebody can give this noob a little guidance on a question. I'm just about to brew my second ever batch and I'm using a Dunkelweizen kit from Keystone Homebrew. (I used their Amber Ale kit for my first and it came out fantastic).
The ingredients I'll be using are:
8 lb. Alexanders Wheat Malt Extract
½ lb. Weyermann Caramel Wheat Malt
¼ lb. Weyermann De-Husked Carafa III Malt 9%
1½ oz. Hallertau Hop Plugs (Bittering)
Wyeast #3056 XL Bavarian Wheat Yeast
I also have most of a 1lb bag of amber dry malt extract lying around and I was thinking of adding it to the mix. I was wondering if this would adversely affect my brew in any way or would it just possible up the alcohol content somewhat as I'd hoped.
I also asked for an extra ounce of the hops for the finishing to boost the nose a little. Thoughts on this?
I appreciate any insights and feedback you can offer.
TIA,
Lockster
