Dunkel Recipe Anyone?

[BlackDuck]

Hello all...I'm thinking about a traditional German style dark lager for the winter. Maybe a dunkel...anyone have a good recipe they would like to share? I'm also open to other dark lager recipes too.

Just saw a youtube video where 2 guys brewed one up and pointed to this BYO article. They never did a tasting so I don't know how good it was. Just in case you want backup....

Thanks for posting...that was the first article I read last night whilst doing a bit of research on this one.

It does look like your typical, run of the mill Dunkel. The guys in the video I watched said to not go crazy on the Melanoidin but 4 oz doesn't seem to be all that much. Vienna is the king of the Dunkel. Well, the yeast too but I'm not sure what yeast they used in their beer. I know they said they've done it many times and everyone liked it.

Vienna is the king of the Dunkel.

You meant Munich, right?

[Beer-lord]

Ya, yes I did. I use lots of Munich and had that on my brain.

Here's a link to my Dunkelweizen recipe and a few notes.

I'll get the BSMX file, too.

Thanks for the post, I'll read through it.

Do you want a Munich Dunkel or a Dunkelweizen?

They use different yeasts and base malt combinations and end up totally different because of it.

I'm heading towards the Munich Dunkel.

[Kealia]

Fine, be that way!

[mashani]

I'm heading towards the Munich Dunkel.

Yeah, you have me wanting to make one now too.

Here's the recipe I think I'm leaning towards: Beer and Brewing Dunkel. The problem is finding the Munich at a 15L. I can get 10 and 20L at my local stores. Gonna have to see if I can find the 15L.

[mashani]

I wouldn't stress about it, it will likely be just as good with just 10L or a mix 10 & 20.

[BlackDuck]

I was thinking a little mix of the 10 and 20. Maybe 75% of the 10 and 25% of the 20.
