OK, going to get another sneaky brew on today Sneaky as I can't be arsed to go to work..
I haven't made any starter yet so my liquid yeast is for another day. I've got lots of 05 but I think I'm going to use Wilkos yeast (Notts)
to brew a Munich smash.
I've considered making a hop bomb but I think it might be nice to have something mellow with some hop finish so I'm thinking Northern Brewer.
Any thoughts ?
100% Munich
Northern Brewer ?
Notts....

Re: Munich Smash
It will work. What source is your Munich? U.K. Malting or German? U.K. Sourced can be very sweet at 100% grist. Mash low or don't be shy with the IBU

Re: Munich Smash
Sounds good. Moderately hopped with something American? Cascade?
Nice American amber ale.
What ebc is this going to come out at?

Re: Munich Smash
Can't some Munich have low diastatic power depending on the source? Pretty sure Muntons only recommend 20% of grist.

Re: Munich Smash
The brew is on ....
The malt is weyermann got an entire sack to get through which is why I wanted to try a smash I'm doing a 5 step mash to try and get a better attenuation.

Re: Munich Smash
German Munich malt should be 100% diastatic. If in doubt run the numbers on the bag through some research. If it's close or you doubt you can fully convert, add half a kilo of pale to get your enzymes up.
