Erdinger Pikantus Dunkler Weizenbock recipe

[drsmurto]

have not heard that one before....have been trying to dry my brews out ....63C -flaked corn etc ....and they still come out a touch sweet or neutral ...could this prob be caused by yeast laziness?? (routinely 1008 FG's)

I'd hardly call FG 1.008 sweet or neutral.

In most beers that would be considered dry, and in the case of this recipe, bone-dry.

latest yeast used was 2042 @ 10*C have used 2206 ditto.........different FG'S (1007 to 1011) don't seem to affect dryness...maybe my tastebuds?

The two I've made finished at 1.011 and 1.013.
I don't think they were sweet.

Ah, you are brewing lagers, not the beer this thread is about.

But, 1.012 or below is where i would start thinking a lager is dry. I aim for ~1.012 when making pilsners.

Wyeast 2042 / Danish Lager is a good clean finisher and you're doing well to get it under 1.012 routinely. I'd agree with Doc and suggest that you've got a dry lager, especially if its under 1.010...
