HHB Dark German Hefeweizen 1 Year ago

Thought I'd share this one with the forum. I'm drinking one now as I write this. Great beer and it shows a good way (I think anyway) of using light components with darker ones without overwhelming the lighter components.
Hop Head Brewski’s Dark German Hefeweizen
Description: This is a slightly darker, more dense version of the fruity and spicy flavored brew that is a favorite in Germany. Extra steeping grains were used to achieve this enhancement. In addition, home grown Magnum hops were used for bittering. A wheat yeast strain accompanies the recipe in order to replicate the true flavors of a traditional Hefeweizen.
Style: Dark Wheat Beer
ABV: 5.3 – 5.4%
SRM (Color) 14
IBU (Bitterness) 11
O.G. 1.054
F.G. 1.013 K2
1.012 K1
Batch Size: 4.26 gals.
Ingredients:
8 oz. German Munich Malt
7 oz. Belgian Cara-Munich Malt
1 oz. Pale Chocolate Malt
1.2 oz. British Dark Chocolate Malt
2 Cans Whispering Wheat Weizenbier
3 Lbs Wheat DME
0.1 oz. Fresh dried Magnum hops
1 Packet MB Dry brewing yeast
1 Packet (11g) Safbrew WB-06 Wheat beer yeast
1 Packet One-Step™ Sanitizing Cleanser
Recipe Instructions:
1. Fill 2 kegs with cold water to the 4-quart mark on the back.
2. Remove yeast packet from under lid of beer mix, then place unopened can of mix in hot water to make the liquid easier to pour.
3. Place 2 gallons of water into a clean 16-quart pot, then throw in steeping grains and bring to 155 degs. Stir to prevent sticking. Cover and turn off stove. Monitor temp and re-apply heat as necessary to keep at 152 – 155 degs for 45 minutes.
4. Using a colander, pour wort into another pot. Clean brew pot and place colander over it and pour wort back in.
5. After the pour back into the brew pot, slowly sparge with ½ gallon water heated to 170 degs.
6. Place brew pot back on stove and add the DME. Bring to a boil.
7. Toss Magnum hops in brew pot and stir. Do NOT use a hop sack to insure proper bittering. Maintain a low boil for 60 minutes.
8. Remove brew pot from heat. Add both cans of HME. Stir to mix well.
9. Pitch the MB yeast packet into the boil for nutrients. Stir.
10. Place brew pot in sink with icewater.
11. When wort has cooled to 100 degs, pour evenly into both Mr. Beer kegs.
12. Bring the volume of each keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Stir vigorously to mix well.
13. Pitch Safbrew yeast into each keg and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.
14. Ferment by placing the keg out of direct sunlight and in a location with a consistent temperature. Allow beer to ferment a minimum of three weeks at room temperature (between 68°-76°F).
Recommended Conditioning Time: 1 Month.
