Will do, I've decided only to do 5gals since this will be my first batch with my re-config'ed stand. I did a couple of test runs with water and all worked well but sticking to a smaller batch will be easier if I encounter any problems.
I'll take photos.... |

I have an extract Dunklewiezen in the secondary fermenter. I used a kit from morebeer.com. I'm racking it to a keg tonight.

Did you use Carafa in your specialty grains boil? Seems most Dunkels shy away from Carafa due to the unique flavor profile.

I may reduce the Cara and throw a little Dark Munich to balance it out, I also plan to ferment on the cooler side so the spiciness will blend the Carafa Flavors a bit. |

Beer is flexible. Except competition wise. |

Check out whether to use Carafa Special (huskless) or not, thought I had seen something about that on dunkelweizen before... |

Check out whether to use Carafa Special (huskless) or not, thought I had seen something about that on dunkelweizen before... So I picked up everything at the LBS today. They didn't have any Carawheat so I had to opt for 40L crystal. I did revise the Carafa to .5 ounce and added .5lbs of dark wheat to balance. This will through my SRM off but I'm not looking to enter this in a competition. |
