I think Kai’s fermentability issues were ostensibly due to an enzymatically weak mash so you wouldn’t expect to see the issues in a beer using a portion of it especially if the rest is something enzymatically rich like pilsner.
I have a hard time getting durst but have access to Franco-Belges and Weyermann. I’ve been using the Franco dark munich lately and really like the flavor, no issues using 50%. It’s usually about 11.5L but this last batch is about 14L. just thought i’d thow that in there. cheers
I used the FB light Munich this year and didn’t care much about the flavor when used as 100% of the grist. I thought it was way too toasty. It aged out after a while but I never really liked these beers as much as I liked others. But I can’t compare with a 100% Weyermann Munich I or BM light Munich beer.

Wouldn’t 20-25 EBC be ~10-12 L? That would be more typical for dark Munich. Light Munich seems to be in the 6-9 L range.
All of the maltsters have different light and dark Munich malts. I keep trying to get folks to post the maltster and L so we can all be on the same page.
Brew on
I’ve had pretty good luck with Gambrinus products. They make an 9L and a 30L Munich that is quite consistent. I absolutely love their Honey Malt used in small percentages on some styles.
ok I will have to give the BM light munich a try. looks like they also have a 10-12L dark munich, do you have any experience with it?
ummm…check the first page of this thread 
FWIW, I am huge Best Malz fan and typically prefer that over anything else, but I think Weyermann takes the cake on Dark Munich. More research is needed.
No I don’t and probably won’t for a while. I just ordered myself a bag of Weyermann Munich II. Looks like the price went down. It’s “just” $56 now. The price for Weyermann used to be in the 60s.
Kai
Where did you order it from. That sounds like a good price. I’m thinking about ordering a bag as well.
I have to order it through my LHBS which gets it from Crosby&Baker. I’m not sure if they distribute to Delaware HBSs.

Kai - how can you say that when a few posts before you say you’re about done with best dark Munich ?
Confused :-[
I read jaybeermanns comment too fast and assumed that he would have seen my comment about the BM Dark Munich in the beginning of this thread. Yes, I do have experience with this malt and I didn’t like it. However, this is just the opinion of one brewer and other may have had better experiences or used it in a way that worked better for their brewing.

Blatz,
Hey, that was at least three days and a whole page ago, I seriously hope you don’t expect me to remember things that far back. ;D
Maybe I need to try weyermann dark again and best light munich for the first time. Thanks blatz and kai
