When I did one of my american wheats, I think I did
40% 2 row
40% wheat
10% Vienna
10% Munich

It turned out good if you're looking for that bready flavor

Is everyone aware that a Dunkelweizen is typically composed of at least 50% wheat malt and the remainder is Munich malt (with maybe a touch of Carafa for color)?

Yes, that crossed my mind at the beginning of this post but I assumed he was just talking about a small percentage in a standard hefewezien. I also like to use dark wheat in my dunkels weizen.

I forgot about the Dunkel. I might have to make one of those as well this summer/fall. I really appreciate all the knowledge.

Dunkelweizen is a great fall beer. It's also a good base for a spiced beer if you want to do something a bit different. Vanilla and cinnamon are really nice additions if you don't overdo it.
