Hi. I’m new to this forum but I’ve been brewing for about 20 years on and off. I took an almost 2 year hiatus due to life getting in the way but i dusted off my equipment and am ready to get back to it

Welcome to the Forum!
I recently brewed my Dunkleweizen recipe here with a friend who owns a brewery in Cocoa Florida and it will be on tap in the next week or so. We brew it every year when my wife and I come to FL for several months. One thing I learned from brewing it here, boil it for 90 minutes (which was my original boil time when I first brewed it). It helps caramelize some of the wort that improves the taste of the beer. I had switched to a 60 minute boil at home to cut the length of the brew day and can really see the difference an extra 30 minutes makes.

Appreciate the welcome!!
And excellent advice!!
I tend to do a 90min boil on anything dark for just this reason.
WELCOME and here is to getting the dust removed!

Fairly accurate representation of the way that some how I’m always wearing black when I mill and mash in. sigh
