Munich Malt

Category:: Grain
Type:: Kilned Base Malt
Stage:: Mash
Color Range:: 10
Notes:: Munich malt has an amber color and gives a very malty flavor. This malt has just enough diastatic power to convert itself, but is usually used in conjunction with a base malt in the mash. Munich malt is used as 10%-60% of the grain bill for Oktoberfests, bocks, and many others including pale ales. It can be used at 100% for Munich dunkles. Munich malt is the primary tool for imparting rich maltiness to many styles. Its flavor is like toasted bread crust.
