Notes

Grains and hop brands are not accurate in the recipe. All grains came from a VA malter Murphy and Rude, in Charlottesville, VA. They grow and malt on site. The hops were Yakima Chief.

It is the first time using these grains. The pilsner malt had a very grassy straw-like aroma. It surprised me.
On brew day, the wort was very sweet. One of the sweetest I have ever produced. Hope it most ferments out. I wanted a roasty Dunkel, but not a sweet one.

  • The cimmerrian wheat was used as a dehusked, debitter, carafa III type malt.
