Made some dunkelweizen last night or at least that is what the box said. I did make some additions to the recipe -> 0.5lb crushed wheat grain for the partial mash and some spices (corriander and orange peel). I'm going for a dark wit-beer, which really makes no sense, but I figured why not. The big burner on my stove is still on the fritz so I opted to do a night brew. It was fun.... cold, but fun. This batch is intended for the Belgian American Society's Heritage Night in 2 weeks, which means I am going to have to keg it for sure. Fortunately it was bubbling like a champ this morning, so I have high hopes that it will finish on time.
This batch does come with a note of disappointment. I've been working on a mash-tun, which I had hoped to inagurate with this batches' partial mash. Sadly the false bottom I had hand crafted was destroyed. Lets just say poor judgement and dishwashers was involved. Next time...

That sounds like a nice beer. And that brewing in the cool weather doesn't sound half bad.
I'm getting excited. I kegged it thursday night - no suger, rather I turned up the CO2 to force carbonate it. Gave it a bit of a shake yesterday and turned the CO2 down to pouring pressure this morning. Hoping to try it out tonight.
