Octoberfest

[mschoeffler]

After spending a year brewing only Belgian styles, I have been impressed with Belgian Munich malt. My brewcycle is coming up to a slot reserved for an Oktoberfest. I usually use 1/3 pilsener, 1/3 munich, 1/3 dark munich, and have found my interest waning in the last few years. The sweeter Belgian Munich malt may just be the thing to sweeten things up a bit. I would still use german pils and german tettnanger, but how sacrilegious would it be to lean on some Belgian Munich?

I use Munich in mine. Didn't even know they had a Belgian Munich .

Where do you find Belgian Munich? Like Jag75, I never heard of it

BSG has it.

Even NB has some: Dingemans Belgian Munich Malt

It's just Munich malt made by one of the Belgian maltsters. I doubt anyone could tell the difference between any of them and the German Munichs, unless it's a SMASH beer. Even then, I think it would be pretty tough.

The Belgian version seems a bit sweeter, less toasty.
