Steve P from my beer club had a bunch of extra grain (really? what's that?) that he wanted to get rid of since he was trying to make space for other stuff. He gave me bags of Munich, Vienna, and wheat, so I thought I'd do a Dunkelweiss with it. It's a style I've been meaning to do, but just haven't got around to it until now. I had all the grain and hops, what I didn't have was a German style weizen yeast. I had a nice pitch of London Ale III on hand, so I used that. I won't get any of the banana/clove esters out of it, but I think that's okay.
