February 20, 2010 - Munich Dunkel

On February 20th I brewed a Munich Dunkel using a decoction mash and 100% Munich Malt. This is the first decoction mash I've done since diving into the BJCP study cycle that has caused me to delve much deeper into brewing books.

This recipe consisted of 23lbs of grain, 78% Munich 10l and 22% Munich 25l. I dove into a decoction mash hoping to both maximize the extract from munich malt and get the 'beguiling maltiness" described in Greg Noonan's "New Brewing Lager Beer".
