Munich Dunkel Warsteiner Dunkel Clone

[adam01]

Ive brewed this a few times since I last posted...

First was to use 0.20 black patent malt. This was a nice dark lager, but wasn't WD.
So the LHBS suggested roasted malt. THis is it. I used 0.20 of roasted malt
and it began to have the roast and sweetness of WD. But 0.20 is not enough. Also
this lager tastes more like an ale. I guess I didn't lager cold enough.

So somewhere betweem 0.20 and 0.50 should be the amount needed.
I was brewing with these grains too.

81% Pilsner
17% Munich

The LHBS also suggested mashing low at 148 to drop the body and mouthfeel.
I still don't have the crispness of the WD, but maybe next time with colder lagering.

Time to brew, fall is coming - time for WD. Let us know what you come up with.

WD has got to be one of my favorite lagers for the warm patches we get in fall around here. Just getting my lager setup together this week, may have to try this one out. Adam, are you going to homebrew hq for your LHBS or is there one closer to our area (I'm almost in Parker/Murphy, so not too much of a jaunt from you)?

Yes, HBHQ is my place. PM me for contact details. We should meet
for a brewday.

Usually WD brew would be next, but its time for Oktoberfest this month.
