Munich malt is a type of malted barley used primarily in brewing beer. It is known for its rich, malty flavor and contributes a deep amber to reddish color to the final product. This malt is typically kilned at a higher temperature than pale malts, which enhances its sweetness and adds a slight toasty character. Brewers often use Munich malt in various beer styles, particularly in German lagers and bocks. It can be used as a base malt or as a specialty malt to enhance the overall flavor profile. Its unique characteristics make it a popular choice for creating balanced and flavorful beers.
