Subject: Pilsner specialty malts: Munich vs Crystal?
|
A good pilsner balances the malt with the hops. The question is,
whether to use Munich or light crystal to give a bit of color and some
malty taste.
I've made many batches of pilsner beer using a recipe (Noonan-Brewing
Lager Beer) that calls for carapils and Munich malts, in addition to
the pilser base malt. However, I recently read Miller's book "Brewing
Continental Pilsner" which states that light crystal imparts a cleaner
malt flavor than Munich malts, and the recipe calls for light crystal
and carapils, with a pilsner base malt.
What is your experience and opinion? I want to brew another batch soon.
