Spotlight Ingredient

Munich Malt

During its “stewing” and kilning processes, Munich malts undergo a number of chemical changes including production of melanoidins, which contribute to the malt’s nutty, bready, toffee flavors. These flavors are extracted through mashing. In ales, a small percentage of Munich malt gives great character. In lagers, a larger percentage of Munich malt may be used, particularly in robust styles like bocks.
