ve Just experimented with a recipe for this amazing brew... Its fermenting @12degress..
Its not a overly dark beer more like a brown lager,
The original beer is reddish brown dark lager “Tradition” with its mild aroma of hops smells like roasted malt and impresses with its sweet caramel flavor which is followed by a slight bitterness.
Im hoping with my simple recipe for moderate bitterness of about 26 IBU,
And the malt balance I want a mild toffee caramel sweetness,
Hope shes a good brew and something close to the original bayrisch dunkle
10.5 litres
1x 1.5 Liquid Munich malt extract
125g (caramalt)crystal 40-60
83g dark crystal 250-300

17g hallertau 60minuts
11 hallertau 30 minuts
1x saflager 34/70 (fermenting at 12degress)
My final bottle AV im hoping should be around 4.9-5.1
OG was way out when I did my gravity reading... vary frustrating it was way high @1068 crazy I thought
