I made a few Dunkels over the years, but they are not as good as Warsteiner.
Munich Dunkel is a style that I really enjoy. It's a subtle easy drinking beer.
I've decided to start a research project to try to make a Dunkel in the same class as Warsteiner.
I started at the website:
http://www.warsteiner.us/our-beer/dunkel/
Soft water, special roasted barley, hops and yeast.
Then I emailed the brewery for more details on the recipe. They wouldn't provide any details on mash or specific ingredients. They did send a nice response along with the document below.
I have neutral water in the brewery and I run in through a carbon filter. When I brew this I am going to soften the water further. I am also going to use all Weyermann malts and a Munich yeast.
Munich, a little melanoidin, and a little roasted barley
Haltetau Mittelfrüh hops 21 ibus - 60, 20 minutes
Yeast - Munich yeast - wlp838
Stay tuned....
Kind regards
