Next Batch in the fermenter: Wolfpack Basketball Slam-Dunkelweizen

The next in our line of Wolfpack themed brews, this one will be in place for the beginning of basketball season. After reusing our yeast from the Wolfpack Weizen, and adding a bit of chocolate malt, we are in the beginning stages of this tasty liquid. Interestingly, our beginning gravity was a bit lower than expected, and the color was a bit paler than we thought it would be. We may end up wishing we had used a bit more chocolate malt, but no doubt this one will be tasty. We will know more when we bottle later this week.

Also, thanks for the shout-out to the Raleigh Philosophical Society . Raleigh and the Triangle in general is really coming along in terms of "good beer" and its nice to see folks taking notice.

  2. the recipe was the exact same as the Wolfpack Weizen, with an addition of 0.5 lbs of chocolate malt, and we will not do secondary fermentation with cherries
