I have some "Hallertau Aroma" (NZ 09 season) which I think I got from CraftBrewer that come in at 8.10%I have some hallertau at about 8% AA. I think they're the Kiwi variety.
Yeah so everyone says about dark wheat. I'll make sure I give it a go next time.Thats a good looking dark heffeweisen.
You really need the dark wheat for a true Dunkelweizen though.
Picky i know...... but dark wheat and munich malt have very different flavours.
Cheers

Planning on bottling the 3068 batch tomorrow night and entering it in the Castle hill comp, see what the judges have to say.
