Description
Dark kiln-dried, malt-aromatic and highly modified, Munich malt fulfills the demands of dark beers, but is also suitable as an additive to vary the beer color and the aroma profile of light beers. Munich is made by taking any type of barley (heirloom/specific breed or generic "2-row" blend) and processing it in a specific way to develop bread, breadcrust, and other specific flavors. Munich malt is similar to Vienna malt, and can typically be used as a replacement. Munich malt is commonly used in beers to provide added "body" or a fuller mouthfeel.
