Munich Malt
Characteristics
Munich malt is a somewhat rich, golden malt typically used in conjunction with 2 Row or Pilsner base
malts to provide a grainy, malty flavor to many beer styles. At 8 to 12 Lovibond, this malt variety
gives a nice, golden orange color.
Typical use in pale ales is 3 to 10% of the grist. Amber beers employ up to 18% and dark beers can have
up to 30% Munich. Like Vienna malt, Munich does well when Crystal Malt is added into the grain bill.
