  • https://byo.com/article/using-munich-vienna-malts-tips-from-the-pros/ (Re: adding Munich, suggests no more than 30% for diastatic power)

    Key points:
  • > 50% wheat malt, rest pilsner
  • Mash options:
    • Decoction: 20 mins @ 55C, pull single decoction and boil for 10-15 mins, add back to mash raising to 67C for 60 mins.
    • Single infusion: replace some or all pilsner with Munich and mash at 67C for 60 mins. Can adjust to somewhere in 66-68 if you want more/less body. Went light on Munich in this recipe (10%), add up to ~30% if you want it more grainy.
    • If you want to add more clove flavour, add ferulic acid rest: 20 min @ 43C.
  • Use German hops (Hallertau, Spalt, Tettnang, Perle, Magnum or Tradition), target ~10 IBU, add mainly @ 60 min, avoid excessive late additions.
  • Don't use finings.
  • Boil: 60 min probably fine. Some claim than 90 mins can reduce SMM from pilsen (only do this if you notice significant canned corn flavour in previous batches)
  • Ferment with Wyeast 3068 (Weihenstephan) @ 17C until completely attenuated, pitch one pack per 20L. Target 200B cells (~0.75 M / ml / P).
