Would you put Munich malt in a Classic American Pilsner? Would you put two pounds? |

Ted, You are so out of line you must now take a time out! Even though I like to keep my CAPs simple I believe someone here won some medals with a CAP that had some munich in it among other malts and certainly more flavor hops that normal. I do have the recipe somewhere and plan to brew it. I will look for it if someone doesn't post it first. -Doug |

Ted, I have some articles and an email where Jeff Renner reccomends some Munich malt if you are planning on using Flaked maize instead of Polenta. With Polenta you must ofcourse do a cereal mash and so you get some melanodin flavors from the mash as you should add some pils malt in with the polenta in the cereal mash. Anyway, I prefer the polenta to the flaked maize. But that is just my opinion. Good luck with your CAP. |

I have used Munich malt in a CAP before, and liked it, but the most I have used was a pound per 5 gallon batch. 1/2 to 3/4 lb. is more in line with my thinking. I think 2 lbs. might be a little too much in terms of the dry/crisp factor. |

The answer is: no. Do whatever the @#$% you want, but the answer is still no. |
