I intended to order 21lbs of light munich and somehow (drinking may have been involved) mistakenly ordered CaraMunich I. Damnit. Any suggestions as to recipes that use a good portion of that malt?

Oh my god.
Unless your a commercial brewer and you have a 1000 leter tank I cant see you getting rid of that amount in a singl batch.
More like find one you like, and make it 10 times.
Failing that perhaps there are some members locally that have extra "something else" they can swap pound for pound.

I would also suggest doing the swap with other brewers if you know any local. Perhaps do a CL post to see if any one wants to by some, be certain to explain it is fresh and that you are selling at cost.

yikes.. I never use more than a lb or so at a time in a 5 gallon batch. I'd just put it in a sealed container and use it a lb at a time. Lesson learned.

a pound is good! got a recipe? i have a local hb club and was thinking to suggest we all do the same recipe with me providing the caramunich I. fortunately, it's not crushed - and i've got it in a sealed container.

I just made an IPA using caramunich in place of the normal crystal that I would usually use.
It's being carbed right now so not sure of the final product, but samples from secondary were really good. Gave a nice balance to the hops.
That one was 11lb pale malt, 1 lb caramunich. Bittered with centennial and columbus for about 70IBU and continued with centennial and columbus for flavor/flameout and dryhop.

great idea. if anyone out there in hbtalkland lives in/near crooklyn, ny and wants some caramunich I let me know.
If I didn't just stock up on CaraMunich II. I would've took some off your hands.

Sounds to me like you RELAXED AND HAD A BUNCH OF HOMEBREWS!!!!!! Good luck
Wow- that recipe, complete with notes, seems eerily familiar to me somehow.
It is your recipe and is an exact clone in my opinion. Thanks for helping me brew my favorite beer.
We like it too! I haven't made it in a long time, though- and everytime I see the recipe I think "Oh, yeah- I should make that again!" but something (hoppy) always comes up first!
But that is definitely going on my "to brew" list again!

I like caramunich as a generic mid-range crystal malt in my pale ales, IPAs etc as already stated. I love it in my darker belgian ales (dubbels, dark strongs, browns) too. Better than 21 lbs of chocolate malt (or acidulated malt, yikes), for sure!
