Notes for next time:
Not a good recipe for cold extraction. Meant to use a basic dunkelweizen recipe but totally spaced and used 2Row instead of wheat. Apart from lacking wheat, the only notable flavor was dark munich, which was not enjoyable on its own. Dunkelweizen recipe could be better for this application. Likely super light, saison-esque style would work well with cold extraction. This beer won the cold extraction duel, yet we all felt that there actually no winners on this one. I ended up dumping both the cold extraction & partigyle. This was my first partigyle though!
