Gonna try this out. Because of having a dad born in Germany I like to brew w/German or German style malts, hops, and yeast.
So I've been wondering the difference in taste between Pilsner and Munich malts. Just picked up 4 lbs of each and gonna do two 1.75 gallon brews of a German IPA. The only difference will be the single malt I use. Here is the recipie:
4 lbs Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) 100.0 %
0.45 oz Magnum [14.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 68.3 IBUs
1.00 oz Malto-Dextrine (Boil 5.0 mins)
0.75 oz Perle [8.00 %] - Aroma Steep 10.0 min 0.0 IBUs
0.74 oz Perle [8.00 %] - Aroma Steep 5.0 min 0.0 IBUs
1.0 pkg SafAle German Ale (DCL/Fermentis #K-97)
Each should produce about 16 bottles. Will let you know what happens in about 7 weeks.
