Gday Everyone
I'm started to collect together the kit i need for my first BIAB brew and was hoping to give this recipie a try as its my favourite beer. I had a few questions about the recipie though and was hoping i might be able to get a hand.
- It sais Pilsner & Wheat malt, when i get to a site like craftbrewer there seems to be many many variations, how would i go about picking the correct one?
- Has anyone seen the honey malt available anywhere in australia ? Havent had any luck finding it so far.
- Any idea's what - .5 lb Special B could be ?
- most places are showing mthood hops as being sold out, some saying until 2009, will hallertau be fairly similar to the mthood's or any other recommendations??
Thanks heaps for any help. Cant wait to post up how it all goes.
Cheers
"Recipe Type: All Grain

Original Gravity: 1.057
Final Gravity: 1.011

Notes
I brewed this and compared it to the original Weihenstephaner Dunkel Weizen and it is dead on in color and taste. I can't tell you which one I liked better because they actually tasted nearly identical. If you want an authentic Dunkel-Weizen then this is the beer to brew. Happy brewing
