Organic Dunkelweizen
I love wheat beer. I’ve brewed many types, from a tankard Hefe Weizen to a Wheat IPA to a Jalapeño Wheat. However, I just realized I have never brewed a Dunkleweizen. So I set out to change that.
These days I am pretty much a partial mash brewer. I don’t have the equipment to do full grain brewing, but like the variety that flavors that using grains provides me. So I set out to find a partial mash Dunkelweizen recipe. I could not find one that I liked, so I set out to modify my existing Hefe Weizen partial mash recipe. After some research, I developed this recipe. I will brew it soon and report back how it turns out.
Ingredients
Instructions
Soak crushed grains in 1.9 gallons of water at 150 degrees F for 40-60 minutes. Use a grain bag in which the grains can fit loosely in. Strain and rinse with another 1 gallon of water at 165 degrees F. Add rest of water for brewing and bring to a boil. Remove heat, add DME, and return to a boil. Add hops, and then boil for 60 minutes. Cool, add wort to fermentor, add water until wort is at 5 gallons, aerate and pitch yeast when wort is below 75 degrees F.
