Brew #17 – Dunkelweizen – humble man brewing.
This is the Northern Brewer AG kit. DUNE-KEL-VITE-ZEN!
Chose single infusion mash with mashout. Target mash temp 152. Hit 148-149F on mash step 1.
added water at about 170F halfway thru mash to bring mash temp to around 154-155 for final 15 mins of step 1. This makes the mash closer to a traditional multi-step mash, I guess.
Hit 164F for mash out – target was 170F.
Using spigot on new boil kettle, I drained cooled wort through a strainer. After a while it got messy and I just let the wort go in without a strainer (see photos).
Racked to secondary on 2/11. No gravity reading taken. I'll leave it in secondary for 2 weeks, I think. It tastes amazing at the moment. Bready and complex. Can't wait for this one!
Yielded 43 bottles. FG 1.012 (5.9% ABV). Still tastes amazing. Maybe my best yet.
