Denny,
Can you post a link to your Dort Recipe?
Did you do any water treatment with Brewers salt to appoximate the Dort's hard water?

Funny, Chumley.....
One of the forum members here sent me an email with a recipe that looks really good, but I want to see another to make a comparison before I brew it.

I think Chumley's pretty close... .
I did treat the water since Dort is all about the water...I don't have the recipe at hand, but I'll try to get it posted tomorrow. PLEASE don't use the same yeast I did unless you want to lager it for a year or so, then dump it out...
LIfe begins at 60...1.060, that is.

I plan on using Wyeast's Danish Lager yeast which is suppose to be very reliable, however I have never used it.

I used that yeast for a CAP that turned out great. Really accentuates hops nicely. |

I LOVE that yeast! Wish I would have used it on mine!

Dortmunder's water is unusually high in sulfates which "sharpens the perception of bitterness." I usually add some extra Magnesium Sulfate & back-off the IBU's when brewing mine.
