[Scott Lyon]

Hi Folks , Just tried Emerson's Hefe-weizenbier Dunkel and really loved it! anyone out there in home brew land brewed a similar beer, or heard of a good recipe? 

A quick search reveled something like this :

60% wheat malt

30% munich

6% biscuit/ carapils

4% choc malt

28 g mellow hops @ 60

safbrew WB-06 ???

 

What do you think?

I recently brewed a Dunkelweizen. Came out perfect for me. The recipe has some odds and ends in it, because I used up some final bits of some malts.

The secret to a good dunkelweizen is the dark wheat and chocolate wheat. I would have used more dark wheat then I did, but I used all I had left.

I have never liked the results with WB-06, and prefer WY3068. I pitched a cup of slurry from a hefeweizen I brewed before this batch.  I mashed at 65ºC for 70 minutes, simple single infusion.

Don't know about 6% biscuit/carapils. Looks a bit high for my taste. The rest looks OK to me.
