Messed up my Weizenbock

So it will end up being a Dunkelweizen. Funny how these things turn out. I am sure it will end up being quite a tasty Dunkelweizen, because it smelled sehr gut.

The only reason it is not a bock, is because a missed my OG by a few points. I was aiming toward the much lighter side of a bock, but since I missed it (first time I have done wheat, and the percentage was 60%+ of the total grain), it is into weissbier territory. This being said, the IBUs will be a little higher as well, I am sure.

Here is the recipe... I think it will turn out great! Note that it was a small batch, with the final volume being near 10L.
