Golden Promise + Munich too malty for IPA?

[brewdoxy]

Anyone ever use this combo? I've heard GP on its own is malty.

I'm planning on doing an IPA w/ 90% GP and 10% Munich - just for a little color and that bready flavor it has.

I'm looking for this to be a drier IPA, so can these 2 produce that with lower mash temp (149-150F)? Or would 2-row/Munich be a better combo to achieve it?

I use golden promise all of the time. I love it in IPAs along with munich.

I don't think you can be too malty for an IPA. Just means you can add more hops to balance it.

Golden Promise is more malty than standard 2 row and Munich is a little more malty than that. If you don't mind a little maltiness in your IPA there is no reason not to use the combination. Some sugar will dry out the beer if you like. As said you can balance it with more hops.

Popular Black IPAs would have a lot more of a malty profile than the Golden Promise and Munich.
