München Dunkel status: GONE

Today I brewed one of my current favorite styles of beer... the Munich Dunkel!  I was craving melanoidin rich malt character known so well in german lagers.  My efficiency finally went up after grinding my grain a bit finer.  Finally up around 80% like I used to be.  I collected about 6.5-7 gal of clear wort with no trub in the fermenter and even decanted my yeast starter to leave some headspace!  I can't wait to drink this brew.  Unfortunately for you, I am leaving this one on tap as a house brew!  Come on over for a sample ;)

Note: using only 3 oz carafa II special since I am grinding it down very fine.  Carafa is only for color NO Roast character.   Mashed Grist 152F, I wanted 154F.  Chillled about 7 gal of wort down to 8C pitched yeast slurry after decanting the starter and put in fermentation vessel at 9C.  This beer will not get bottled and will remain a house brew on tap ;)
