MASSIVE Flavor for MINIMAL Effort: Dunkelweizen | How to Brew German Dark Wheat Beer Grain to Glass
Channel: TheApartmentBrewer
Date: 2021-02-05

I believe Dunkelweizen is one of the best bang for your buck all grain beers, which makes it great for beginners. It is chock full of malty goodness and honestly very easy to brew provided you have rice hulls on standby. It is a marriage of the malty complex flavors of a bock with the smooth creamy mouthfeel and delicious banana and clove flavors of a hefeweizen, making the beer seem like a fruitcake in a glass. A single infusion mash, a single hop addition, an uncomplicated grist and a very forgiving yeast make this a great beer for beginner all grain brewers. This actually ended up being one of my favorite beers of the winter, with rich flavors of banana bread, fruitcake, chocolate, raisin, spice and toast. To top it all off, its only 5.1% ABV so it is a nice contrast to other, heavier winter beers.
