Decided to break from my relatively long streak of not using crystal malts (except in the stout) and try something I’ve been interested in for some time. I’m going to make a beer with all Munich I and Munich II base malt, and all three kinds of Caramunich:
- 7.75 lbs Munich I (10 SRM)
- 4.25 lbs Munich II (20 SRM)
- 0.25 lbs Caramunich III
- 0.25 lbs Caramunich II
- 0.5 lbs Caramunich I
Hops wise, I haven’t decided yet. The grist is already bagged, so that won’t change. However, any suggestions on the hops bill will be considered! I will edit / update when the hops bill has been finalized. I am thinking something noble-ish, leaving a maltier, less IPA-ish final beer, but if the eureka moment presents itself, I will go with just about anything that is highly likely to kick ass!
Yeast wise I haven’t decided yet either. Something that will highlight the Munich and caramunich, perhaps Irish ale yeast? WLP029? Again, suggestions welcome.

Well this one was drinkable, but not great. It was worth a try tho. Conclusion: Munich provides plenty of flavor on its own without caramunich.
