- Tasting Notes
- Smooth chocolate, coffee, and a hint of spice from the hops. Overall very tasty.
Midnight Dunkelweizen - 5.5 Gallon
-6 Lbs. Wheat LME
-2 Lbs. Dark DME
-16 Oz. Midnight Wheat Malt
-8 Oz. Chocolate Wheat Malt
-2 Oz. Tettnanger (60 Min)
-Danstar Munich Yeast
Steep grain at 158F for 30 minutes. Boil volume - 3 gallons for 60 minutes. Water to 5.5 gallons. Yeast pitched at 72F. Bucket primary for 2 weeks, keg and carbonate. I had a little trouble at first with my new keg getting the hop particles through the poppet, but once it was disassembled and cleaned, it flowed perfectly. Just keep an eye out if you don't strain from your kettle, as there are a lot of debris.
This really turned out to be an awesome beer, albeit a little dark and sweet for the season we're in (it hit 92F the other day here in Morgantown, WV), but I'll definitely be making this again this fall or winter. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
Cheers!
