If I brew my normal Dunkel with this method, will it be too intense or should I cut some of the Munich II with Pils, Pale, Vienna or Munich I? Normal Dunkel is 98% Weyermann Munich II and 2% Carafa Special II.
I think there's confusion between pitching a Helles at 5-6ºC according to the paper and pitching a Hefeweizen that Indevrede brewed that he probably pitched at 15ºC+. 10-18 million/mL (.75-1.5 million/mL/ºP) would be more like it for a Hefe depending on the phenol level you prefer...1L...
I brewed with TF Oat Malt this past weekend also. Check that you have the correct potential extract for your calculations. The dry basis fine grind extract is much lower than most if not all other malts. Recent lots are in the low 60% range and if also taking into consideration the moisture...
