Hefe Wiezen Dunkel

[cubbie]

Hi,

I am after a recipe for a partial mash Hefe Wiezen Dunkel.


It will be my first partial, though I am fairly confident on the method.

I have a large 50l pot to do a full boil.

If anyone has a simple, but good recipe I would love to hear them.

In my fridge I have some Wyest 3942 which I would like to use.

Cheers,

Cubbie.

3942 is for Belgian wheat beers aka Wit. Either make a Wit 9with the appropraite ingredients) or get a different yeast e.g. 3068 or 3333 for a German Hefeweizen flavour.

Here is the recipe for my Smoked Dunkelweizen. It makes a great beer.
Just drop the smoked malt for a regular dunkel weizen.

Bugger, just saw you were after a Partial recipe.
Substitute the Wheat Malt for Wheat Extract (and obviously you'll need less)

Doc,

U gave the right answer. Someone out there can convert it to partial for Cubbie, or he can do it for practice.

I'd prob do a BYO recipe, and convert to pm, coz they only give ag and extract with grains, so U would want to go to a middle ground between these. Excellent quality, most BYO recipes (no afiliation). Much better than some recipes from the web.

2 cents is too much to pay for my opinion, so this one is free.

The wyeast website recomend it for a bavarian wheat

"Bavarian Weizenbier:
Light to medium body. Fruity/estery/phenolic. Low bitterness. Low hop flavor and aroma OK. No diacetyl. Distinctive clove/banana/vanilla aroma/flavor is evident.
--Wyeast 3068, 3056, 3333, 3942."


I know it is not exact but i will give it a shot.

cheers

cubbie, those yeasts are in preference order. W3068 is highly recommended.

I'm thinking that W3942 is too phenolic if brewed too warm, and is best used in another style (Belgian wheat, rather than Bavarian).

I would expect more fruit than with a German yeast. Or different fruit: apple, bubblegum and plums instead of banana and cloves.

As long as U expect the right flavours, and stick to the right temp, U will be happy. My witbier yeast (Whitelabs Wit II) can make very plummy beers.

Ok this is my attemp at converting Doc's recipe to a Partial Mash

I have used a combo of my own calc and an evaluation version of Promash (my Brewsmith version has expired)


Batch Size (L): 23.0 Wort Size (L): 23.0
Total Grain (kg): 4.1
Anticipated OG: 1.049 Plato: 12.19
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75 %
Wort Boil Time: 90 Minutes

Evaporation Rate: 15.00 Percent Per Hour
Pre-Boil Wort Size: 29.5 L
Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.038 SG 9.54 Plato


61.0 2.50 kg. Coopers LME - Wheat 1.037
26.8 1.10 kg. Munich Malt 1.037
6.1 0.25 kg. CaraWheat 1.035
3.7 0.15 kg. Melanoidin Malt 1.033
2.4 0.10 kg. Carafa Special 1.037

(I guess my amount will vary slightly depending on my my HBS sells and there potential SG)

Total Mash Volume L: 5.05 - Dough-In Infusion Only ( I am not sure what this means)


My plan is to was to mash with 4L, mash-out with 4L and sparge with 4L, then sparge the grain with cold water to top the kettle up to my pre-boil volume.



How does all this sound?

Any comments?

Does my conversion look ok?
