Great Western Malting Munich 10 Malt is a rich, flavorful American Munich-style malt that adds bold malt aroma, toasted bread character, and warm amber color to beer. Made from barley grown in the Pacific Northwest, Munich 10 is an excellent choice when you want the malt backbone to play a prominent role in the finished beer.
At approximately 10° Lovibond, Great Western Munich 10 provides significantly more color and malt intensity than standard 2-Row or Vienna malt. Expect a rich, malty profile with bread crust, toast, and lightly sweet malt notes that can add depth and complexity without introducing the caramel sweetness of crystal malt.
Munich 10 is extremely versatile. Use a smaller percentage to add malt complexity to IPAs, Pale Ales, and Amber Ales, or make it a substantial part of the grain bill in malt-forward lagers, Bocks, and German-inspired beer styles.
Its rich malt character is particularly useful in hop-forward beers, where Munich 10 can provide a stronger malt backbone to help support assertive bitterness and hop flavor.
Why Brew With Great Western Munich 10 Malt?
For brewers looking to add rich malt flavor, toasted bread character, and deeper color, Great Western Munich 10 Malt is a versatile addition to the grain bill. Use it to build the malt-forward foundation of an Oktoberfest-inspired lager or Bock, or add it to an IPA or Pale Ale when you want a more substantial malt backbone behind the hops.
