Brand new to brewing and I really want to brew a dunkelweizen. My local homebrew store doesn't sell a dunkelweizen kit so I thought why not try to come up with a recipe based on ingredients they carry. Feel free to critique away as I have only done one batch of beer thus far (an English Mild Ale extract kit about a week into bottle conditioning). Still debating on whether I am brave enough to brew a batch of my own creation rather than buying a kit after only making one batch of homebrew. So on to the recipe I was considering:
Boil size: 3 gallons
Batch size: 5 gallons
Steeping Grains (plan 20 to 30 minutes at about 150 F)
- 8 oz briess chocolate Malt
- 4 oz Gambrinus honey malt
- 4 oz briess caramel malt 20L
Extract:
3.3 lbs Munich LME (Briess)
3 lbs bavarian wheat DME (Briess)
Hops:
1 oz Hallertau (US) pellet - AA: 4.3% - 60 minute boil
Yeast:
Danstar Munich Dry Yeast
Expected results per recipe calculator
OG: 1.051
FG: 1.013
ABV: 4.98 %
IBU: 12.01
SRM: 20.1
The recipe calculator says it matches the style but I figured I would throw this out there to see what other more experienced brewers think about this. Am I way off or should this be a tasty beer? Also, should I expect to need a secondary fermentation or would just a 2 week primary likely be ok. Any help is much appreciated.
