Notes

traditional dunkelweizen would be 50 to 70% wheat malt, 30 to 50% dark Munich malt and a small amount of mid-color caramel malt. By German law, at least 50% of the grist must be malted wheat. The Munich malt adds a rich, grainy, bready malt character and the caramel malt adds a gentle note of caramel sweetness.

Target a mash temperature range of 152 to 156 °F (67 to 69 °C)

17 or so IBUs of anything early or mid-boil works for me. If you want a touch of aroma hops later in the boil, keep it Noble and use a light hand. Hallertau, Spalt, Tettnang, Perle, Magnum or Tradition. Liberty or Mount Hood can be acceptable substitutes
