Calling all german beer afficionadios

What kind of malt is dunkles gerstenmalz and what would the closest obtainable malt be vienna? munich? any clues.

There are loads of Munich and Vienna malts from Germany around and readily available. Check out some on-line sources and see what you can find. Durst malt is always good. Briess has Munich and Vienna malt, but I would not use them in the same way and in the same quantity these German varieties are used.

I don't know the dunkel malt, but assume it is a dark roasted German malt, of which there are many varieties. I can't say what to use in this case because I don't know its character.

are you calling out all fans of German beers, or fans of beer, who happen to be German... ...

both
where are the germanophiles when you need them???

I used German cara aroma to darken my dunkel... tastes GREAT!

Literal translation is dark barley malt.
