I have been trying for a long time to make a decent Hefe.
Next time I try your recommended 40/60 wheat/Munich combo.
Question: what temperature do ferment at ?
Thanks
I've done something similar.
Coopers Dark Ale
Coopers Lager
350gm White Sugar
250gm Golden Syrup
US05 yeast
25 litres
Surprising it was not that bitter.
Very good in fact.
Maybe next time add some Crystal Malt.
Hi Jimmy
If you do it with all the above your brew will be just above 7%abv @23 litres
If you do it without the 1kg of sugar it would be just around 5%abv @ 23 litres.
Either way would be OK.
How strong do you wanted.?
I've done a Coopers Dark Ale and Lager together. Turn out a dark red colour and surprising not too bitter. Just a hint of burnt roasted malt. Very nice. The stout and lager mix should be good also.

It about half way down is a reference to Montieths Black.
Good luck with the project.
For some unknown reason my brews take a good 8 weeks if not closer to 12 weeks to get good carbonation in bottles. I primary ferment for 2 - 3 weeks so it could be low on yeast in the bottle.
