Dunkelweizen recipe

[brnooewb]

Here is a recipe for a Dunkelweizen I did recently. I compared it to Franziskaner's Dunkelweizen and it's pretty close other than mines a little more roasty. Anyone have any input for me? I made it completely from scratch just guessing on amounts and types of malt.
On the left is the Franziskaner. And on the right is my dunkel.

Thanks!

I dont see a problem with your recipe and actually I'd prefer it to be a little more roasty.

When my Hefe is done I'm going to brew one of these up so it will be ready for the Fall. I may have to use your recipe.

Looks tasty! Now you got me dreaming of the fall, cool weather, turning of the leaves, and a nice Dunkel

I have a very simple, but really wonderful hefeweizen in the keg and was just thinking about how to "dunkel" it up for a fall recipe. This looks just about perfect. I like how you get color just from the Munich instead of monkeying around with crystal malts.

Well thanks everyone. I think I'll just keep it as is and do some experimenting with fermentation temps for now and see exactly where I want it as far as more or less banana.
