G'day guys,
I'm curious to try brewing a dunkel hefe like the Weihenstaphaner offering. Now, I know approximating a great beer like that is a big ask from any kit, but I'm willing to give it a go. However, I'm a bit uncertain as to how to go about formulating such a thing. The AHB forums give the following recipe as appropriate to the style, however, I'm a bit unsure on the choice of yeast, among other things:
1.7kg Morgan's Golden Sheaf Wheat kit
2kg Morgan's Chocolate Malt Master Blend
10g Saaz hops @ 45
10g Saaz hops @ 15
10g Hallertau hops @ flameout
1 Sachet Morgan's ale yeast
Would it be best to make this style of beer using the Morgans yeast, or is there a better Saf yeast available? Also, is it best to approach this sort of recipe using a wheat beer kit as the base and adding choc malt, or should I try a stout or dark ale can and add wheat malt to that?
