Cranberry Dunkel

i know this discussion has been kicked around on this board already and i as well decided that i didn't want to do a standard fruit beer for thanksgiving. i decided to make mine a cranberry dunkelweizen. the plan is to use 3/4 lb caravienne and 1/4 lb chocolate wheat. along with 4 lbs liquid wheat extract and 2 lbs dark dme. racking onto the cranberry relish concoction in secondary as brewchez has mentioned here. i would also like to use a german weizen yeast (wlp380) to develop some spicy notes. i guess my big question to youse guys is does this sound right and proportional. i worry about the fruit getting overwhelmed by the roast characters. to much specialty grain? and will yeast flavors also conflict? does this even sound like a good idea? thankx

 

FYI I am still looking for that damn recipe for you.  I seem to be missing my Oct 2005.  If anyone has that copy can you please post the cranberry wheat recipe that was in it.

I need to check with a couple of my brewf friends to see if someone borrowed it from me.

 

no problem brewchez. i've concocted what i think might be a winner, that is unless anyone else here thinks this idea is ill advised. please look at what i've previously posted and let me know if i'm going wrong. but i do wonder how many points are to be added by the fruit relish you've mentioned. and how you might explain point calculations and gravity potentials to someone fairly new to these type of calculations.

 

I don't recall the wheat base beer recipe, but I can tell you hwo I made the relish.

It was one green apple, two oranges and 1lb of fresh cranberries.  The whole lot was whirred in the food processor, rinds seeds and all.  Just make a crude relish not a puree.

I also used a couple teaspoons of pectic enzyme to help with clarity.  The whole raw relish went into the secondary fermentor.  No need to heat it because the cranberries are so acidic its sort of self pastuerizes.

I am sure then when I least expect it I will find that recipe.  By then you'll probably have brewed this cranberry dunkel a couple dozen times and won with it at nationals.big_smile
Then I'll be asking you for the recipe instead.
