So I just ran out of 2 row and other base malts except for my light Munich malt (10L). Until my next group buy goes through in another month, I am reserved to using Munich for my next batch (which is ok because i've been wanting to experiment with it for a while). I thought about doing a SMASH but then maybe thought about adding some specialty grains. From what I've gathered, Munich has diastatic power of about 40, with 35 needed for self conversion. Seems like there is a little extra DP but not much. If I do a normal gravity ale with it, about how much specialty grains could I add to still get full conversion? I was thinking about 8-10 lbs of munich as the base. Also, what hops would go good with it? I have mostly American C hops but also have some EKGs and maybe 1 oz of willamette. I am thinking of using a british ale yeast coupled with a higher mash temp (maybe 156), to get a higher FG and a good maltiness.
Anyone have a good ale recipe with Munich as the base malt?
Worst case, I was thinking maybe a Munich/EKG SMASH with maybe Wyeast 1028 (London Ale).
