Munich 10L vs 20L

Post by RubberToe » Thu Aug 16, 2012 10:54 am

Hi gang,

It turns out that the Munich Malt a bunch of us got from NCM order #7 from CMC is light Munich (6 - 10L).

I'm looking to brew an Octoberfest this weekend and was looking at using about 25% Munich 20L but then realized I only have light Munich.

The lowdown from Canada Malting Co:

CMC Munich (6-10° ASBC Colour)
Produced in the traditional European method, Canada Malting Munich malt is made by “stewing” germinated 2-Row malt, then kilning it at high temperatures, providing colour and aromatics without introducing caramel/crystal flavours. This malt is a fantastic addition to amber and dark beers.

Will I still get the traditional Munuch malt flavour from this? If so, and it's just less pronounced, I'll just use a bit more in the recipe. I called NG and all they have is light Munich too. I guess I'll be getting some of the 20L on NCM #10.

Thanks,
-Rob

You'll be fine, I got dark Munich on one of the orders and it says on the bag 10-13L. I can trade you some of that if you want.

It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll use this stuff up. I'm using some 20L melanoiden in the recipe so that will make up for it I think. Maybe I'll add a hint of special b.
