How to Use BEST Caramel® Munich III
Used at up to 40% of the grain bill, it enhances darker beer styles such as Märzen, Bock, and wheat beers. This malt's unique processing allows it to add character without overpowering the grain bill, making it flexible for both classic and inventive beer styles.
Flavour Profile
Expect notes of toasted bread and roasted almonds, with a depth that brings out a rich, layered sweetness perfect for beers aiming for a fuller body and robust flavour.
Enzymatic Activity
This malt has limited enzymatic power, meaning it relies on the inclusion of base malts for sufficient enzyme activity in mashing.
Mashing
Its caramelized sugars make it suited for conventional mashing methods, where the consistent sugar profile aids in even wort production and fermentability.
Combining with Other Malts
BEST Caramel® Munich III pairs excellently with base malts like Pilsner or Munich malts, which offer necessary enzymatic support, allowing the specialty malt’s rich colour and flavour to shine.
