My notes: I changed the attenuation to match the FG.
Old School Dunkel
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.054 (13.4°P) FG = 1.014 (3.6°P)
IBU = 23 SRM = 20 ABV = 5.3%
Ingredients
11 lb. (5 kg) Durst or Weyermann Munich Malt (8 °L)
5 oz. (143 g) Weyermann Carafa® Special II (huskless) (430 °L)
4 AAU Hallertauer pellet hops (1 oz./28 g at 4% alpha acids) (60 min.)
2 AAU Hallertauer pellet hops (0.50 oz./14 g at 4% alpha acids) (20 min.)
White Labs WLP833 (German Bock Lager), Wyeast 2308 (Munich Lager) or Fermentis Saflager S-23 yeast
Step by Step
Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 154 °F (68 °C). Hold the mash at 154 °F (68 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 5.9 gallons (22.3 L) and the gravity is 1.046 (11.44 °P).
Once the wort is boiling, add the bittering hops. The total wort boil time is 1 hour after adding the bittering hops. Add the flavor hops with 20 minutes left in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 50 °F (10 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate.
Ferment around 50 °F (10 °C) until the yeast drops clear. With healthy yeast, fermentation should be complete in two weeks or less, but don’t rush it. If desired, perform a diacetyl rest during the last 1⁄3 of fermentation. Rack to a keg and force carbonate or rack to a bottling bucket, add priming sugar and bottle. Target a carbonation level of 2 to 2.5 volumes. A month or more of cold conditioning at near freezing temperatures will mellow some of the flavors. Serve at 43 to 46 °F (6 to 8 °C).
