what do you think?


edit: forgot to add the hop schedule.
 
Looks good...

Only thing I can think of is that you might want to use continental hops instead of Mt Hood.  Perhaps Hallertaeur?

Also - I have not used a lot of aromatic or special B, but they might be a little strong with a full pound (combined) in a wheat beer -- perhaps someone with more experience with them can comment however?

Cheers!

I've already brewed it....  

The flavor is definitely interesting!  I think Mt Hood is a derrivetive of hallertau.....I'm not sure though.  

If I were to brew it again I would use .5lb munich and a full pound of Special B and leave out Caramunich and Aromatic.  I really like the flavor of Special B.  

I forgot to mention I also used 2oz of chocolate.....
 
Ahh...
 Yes the chocolate is nice to have in a Dunkel.  I'll have to try some Special B - it is one of the few malts I have not tried in any significant quantity.

 So...how does the beer taste overall?

Cheers!
Brad
 
The overall flavor is quite good!  I will botteling/kegging this one over the weekend!  I will be bottle conditioning the keg to get some extra sediment.


cheers,
borny
