Nice.

Dampfbier is truly underrated and a style that needs resurrecting. My recipe is 1/3 light Munich, 1/3 Vienna, and 1/3 pilsen and about 20 IBUs of Columbus hops for an hour boil.
What yeast do you use? I think this will be my last time with 3638, it just doesn't attenuate as well as I'd like and even with careful temp control it still throws a characteristic phenolic that I don't much care for. I'm definitely going to add some hop tea to balance out the sweetness.
 
I used White Labs 300 which I believe is supposed to be the same thing as 3638.

I mashed it at 147F.

I wanted to accentuate the spice & clove, so for fermentation I started it at 54F and raised it 2F a day for 5 days. Then I raised it to 68F for 9 days (2 weeks fermentation time) and bottled.
 
Just kegged my Dampfbier last night.
Good luck with your Dampfbier.
I brew one a few times a year.
