Solid Munich Malt
I used about 7% in a Munich Helles and it provided very nice melanoidin/ toasted bread notes. Seems lighter on the colour scale than other light Munich I've used, perfect to add some complexity to lighter ales and lagers!

Crisp Light Munich Malt colour ranges from 15 to 25 EBC (IoB) and Crisp Dark Munich Malt colour ranges from 40 to 50 EBC (IoB).

Munich Malt has its origins in Germany where traditional beers gained their rich malty character from the addition of specialist malts with enhanced colour and flavour. These products are made on a conventional malt kiln using processes that promote higher levels of soluble protein and simple sugars which interact when heat is applied to produce a product rich in melanoidins and other colour and flavour compounds.

The malty flavours associated with Munich Malt contrast with the caramel-like flavours associated with crystal malts and the golden to reddish hues to the colour is popular in some beer styles.

My new go to lager yeast
...This is, without a doubt, the best lager I have ever made. Perfect ABV to make it super drinkable, with a really pronounced sweet malt flavour, little bitterness and minimal hop flavour, so you won't be distracted from the delicious malts shining through... 
This is EXACTLY what I remember beer tasting like while I was in Germany.

In brewing, when mixed with barley malt, rye malt can improve head retention, improve mouthfeel and introduce flavour changes of a toffee/caramel note at lower inclusion rates and a spicy after-palate at higher inclusion rates. Most notably, rye malt will also impart a reddish hue to beers.

Usage and Styles

• 10% to 20% for grainy, slightly spicy flavour, mouthfeel and head retention 
• Roggenbier
• Rye IPA
• Rye Lager
• Rye Whisky

Time to reach for the lederhosen, knee high socks, put your hair in piggy tails or try on some skin tight skivvies and amp up some strange German techno or trance music and drink a traditional Märzenbier or Oktoberfest bier! For this BeerCo Recipe Kit we use a layered malt bill for depth and flavour and a moderate hopping regime with traditional noble Hallertau hop. We trust this will help you celebrate the change of seasons in style with a brew to style - Prost!
