Whatever I had going on with dark German beers and the weird dark fruit flavor is gone. This is f-ing fantastic!

That's my favorite beer! Spaten Optimator and Aventinus Dunkelweizenbock are also fantastic. You literally can't go wrong with any beer from Ayinger. You would probably also enjoy Troegs Trogenator. I've got 5 gallons of Feltmanator Doppelbock inna fermenter with Voss right now.

How hoppy do you do your Alt? The NB all grain altbier kit was just a tad too hoppy for my taste.
I use Magnum and Willamette to a calculated 38 IBU. According to Beersmith that’s right in the middle of the range in the style guidelines. Mine is, admittedly, an “Americanized” Alt. Real, German, Altbiers are pretty scarce in this part of the world so I don’t know how close mine comes to the genuine article. I like the balance between he malt and the hops in this recipe, but, I only have to please myself. :cool: The recipe is posted in that “What is an Altbier” thread.
 
I worked nights for way too many years. And as soon as I got off of nights I went to permanent saturdays. Can’t win

My manger "guarantees" this is only 3 months. I didn't have the heart to tell him probably not going to want to come back to days. This night shift has ever other weekend off starting at 7am Saturday. I worked it for 6.5years back in the 90s. Your's sounds like our back end day shift they work every Saturday and I've worked every Sunday.
