Bavarian Dampfbier (Steam Beer), has me intrigued. With the whole Vienna SMASH think I've been yammering on about, I was considering doing something a little weird and SMASH'ing the Vienna with a Hefe yeast. Low and behold I learned about Dampf. Interesting history redrockbrewing.com/craftybeergirls/2017/06/17/dampfbier-steam-beer/ Surley's surlybrewing.com/beer/dampfbier/ "Noodling" 100% Vienna. Or perhaps 70/30 Vienna/Pilsner. 20 IBU Hallertau. Lalbrew German Wheat Yeast. <=5%. I need something different and slam worthy and this might be the trick. |

I brewed one years ago and recall a pretty tasty pint.

So it will have the banana & clove character or no? For awhile I was tight with some local brewers who were all about Hefeweizen, that character and Wyeast 3068. We had a gathering and I brought one of my "non-brewing but beer loving friends". We get there and someone comes up from behind me and waves a cold 22-ounce bottle in front of me and I just knew it was a hefe (not my thing) and I winced a little bit but my friend grabbed the bottle and took a big swig. He swallows it and then HE winces... OMG, Bananas!?!? I laughed my butt off. I have heard of Dampfbier but I didn't know it had that character.

Ken, in your case, it might as well be a Belgian  Yes, the banana clove thing will be there. But I intend on fermenting in the low 60's to keep those flavors/aromatics on the low side. It just sounds too interesting to not give it a try. If it turns out to be too much for me, I have plenty of help to knock off a keg haha.

Dampfbier? Can't say I ever heard of it. One of my regrets in life is that I didn't take advantage of a German beer store that was around the corner from my base in Berlin. I went there once and iirc, I bought Alt bier. I had no idea what it was, just bought it. I mostly bought Berliner Kindl pils at the corner grocery because at the time it was about $4/case. I probably missed out on some good stuff. Circa 83-86.

And that bier store around the corner probably had all of them! In returnable bottles in those hard plastic case holders. Very industrial looking store, no frills. |

It definitely seems interesting and I think I'm going to do it this weekend. Keeping the recipe I posted as is. Nice and simple. |

I had good luck last year with Munich Classic yeast with a hefeweizen. Fermented at room temp (high 60's-low 70's). Had a bit of clove and decent amount of banana. My first time using a dry yeast for a hefe.
