Hello fellow Homebrewers,
I was putting together a recipe for a German style Black Ale. I wanted to do something close to a Schwarzbier, but cannot lager at this time. Was going for something dark in color but not too heavy or bitter. Also looking for some good coffee and chocolate notes. Here's the recipe I came up with. Was hoping to get some feedback. Thanks!
Grains
========
Pilsner 5 lbs
Dark Munich 5 lbs
De-Bittered Black .75 lbs
Dark Chocolate .5 lbs
Crystal 60L .5 lbs
Torrified Wheat .25 lbs (I was told this would help with better head retention)
Hops
========
Hallertau 1 oz 50 min
Hallertau 1 oz 30 min
Hallertau 1 oz 20 min
Extras
========
Whirlfloc tablet 15 min
Yeast
========
Wyeast German Ale 1007
