American Light Munich Malt

8.0° - 12.0° lovibond, Briess Malting

Light Munich Malt provides a modest color increase toward the golden to orange hues.

It adds a pronounced malty, grainy flavor to beers without adding non-fermentables or affecting the foam stability and body. Small amounts added to the mash-in will improve the malty flavor and give a richer color to low gravity brews.

For low gravity beer, use 2 - 5% Light Munich Malt.

For Pale Ales and Canadian Lagers, use 3 - 7% Light Munich Malt.

For amber-colored and Marzen beers,
use 5 - 15% Light Munich Malt to obtain a malty, grainy flavor.

Use 3 - 10% Crystal Malt is used in these styles to round out the flavor, give color and body.

For Bocks and dark-colored beers, use 10 - 30% Light Munich Malt to provide the robust malty, grainy flavor characteristic of this type of beers.
