Am I doing it right? :huh: :lol:
I just finished fermenting one and i now lagering. something like this..
3.6kg pils weyermann of course
.7kg munich
.3 carapils
.15 melanoiden
og 1.052
IBU 29
SRM 5-6 i think
Mashed at 52degc for 15mins then 65degc for 60mins.
Hallertau @50mins Bittering
Hallertau 20g @ 25mins
Czech Saaz 30g @ 0mins After Flameout
Used WL833 Bock yeast slurry from a helles. Pitched at 20deg cause was going out and dropped the temp to 10degc in approximately 4hours. Was bubbling by 6hours. Gave diacetyl rst @1.020 and it finished at 1.012.
Tasted good when racked off the yeast to lager
Just used infusion of 90degc water. Started off with a fairly thick mash 2.3L/kg and didn't do a mash out. I just used normal town water filtered and added calcium chloride. The dortmunder style is suited to high carbonate water which is why I've been trying to brew the style cause brisbane water is fairly hard.
Stuster ,
Its a long story why the post went wrong but yes I am planning to make a Dortmunder and those others who do too should not be dissapointed as below is a link to a post by Trough Lolly and others who talk about a Dortmunder.
