What can I brew with these ingredients?

[burakkilic]

Hi;

I ordered some malt extracts, hops and yeast from a friend of mine. Now I have

- 3.3lbs Brewferm Weizen
- 3.3lbs Brewferm Dunkel
- 4 x 1 oz. US Magnum hop pellets
- 4 x 1 oz. US Northern Brewer hop pellets
- 2 x saSafele s-04 DRY Ale Yeast
- 2 x Safale US-05 Dry Ale Yeast
- 2 x Munich wheat beer yeast
- 2 x Nottingham Ale yeast

One of my friend said that I can brew Dunkelweizen with these ingredients.

But I don't have a recipe. Could you please help me with it?

I looked up the two products. The Dunkel is dark LME @ 23 SRM. The Weizen is wheat LME @ 4 SRM.

Use both, and you should hit about 1.051 OG for a 4.5 gallon target. Notice I stopped short of 5 gallons; it's only going to be 1.046 in 5 gallons. Your choice.

Bitter with the Northern Brewer to 15 IBU (try one addition of 0.5 oz @ 45 minutes, assuming AA of about 8%).

It's a tad light for the Dunkelweizen style but it's close.

Ferment with the Munich wheat beer yeast.

I'd pick up some specialty grains to steep.

I don't understand why people use specialty grains with dark and amber malt extract. The extracts are made with the grains most people seep with like crystal, chocolate, and roasted malts. Even the light extracts usually have carapils in the blend. The extracts are formulated to hold up on their own and without knowing what's in the syrup or what it tastes like by itself I don't even know how a proper recipe could be formulated.
