Brew Day: German Dunkel – Dark Lager Homebrew.

Brew Day: German Dunkel – Dark Lager Homebrew.
“Quick heads up — I’ve got a helper for the heavy lifting and hot stuff, while I focus on sharing 40+ years of homebrew know-how. 🍻 Full explanation’s in my intro video [link]… but enough waffling — let’s make some beer!”

Today I’m brewing a proper classic — a German Dunkel, the original dark lager. Smooth, malty, and full of rich toasty flavors, this style goes back centuries and is still one of the most drinkable lagers out there.
In today’s brew day video, I’m making a German Dunkel, the classic dark lager known for its smooth, toasty malt character and clean, drinkable finish. It’s a style packed with tradition — rich brown colour, gentle caramel notes, and that unmistakable Munich malt warmth.

The brew is now lagering in the keg, slowly cold-conditioning and clearing up beautifully. If all goes to plan, I’ll start carbonating it around 18th December, aiming to have this Dunkel poured, crisp, and perfectly chilled in time for Christmas Day. 🎄🍺

Join me through the mash, boil, chilling, and kegging as we put together this festive-ready dark lager.

If you enjoy classic lager styles, give this one a watch — and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and let me know what you’re brewing for the holidays!

Prost! 🍻
