Bestmalz | Munich I Malt | per lb

BESTMALZ Munich Malt is a rich German base malt designed to build malt flavor, body, and deeper color in amber and dark beers. Its pronounced malty and bread-like character makes it an excellent choice when you want a stronger malt backbone than you would get from Pilsner or standard pale base malt.

At approximately 4.6–8.0° Lovibond, BEST Munich adds warm golden-to-amber color while enhancing the full-bodied malt character of the finished beer. Even at lower percentages of the grain bill, it can provide a noticeable malty character, while higher percentages create increasingly rich and malt-forward beers.

BEST Munich has sufficient enzymatic activity to be used as a true base malt and can make up as much as 100% of the grain bill. It is particularly useful for highly attenuated beers where additional malt flavor and perceived body are desired.
