Weyermann® Munich Malt Type 2 · per 100 g

The darker Munich: more bread, more honey, more colour. At 20–25 EBC, Munich Malt Type 2 is the backbone of a Munich Dunkel, a Schwarzbier or a Baltic porter — and it still converts its own mash.

20–25 EBC · 8.0–9.9 °L · Up to 100 % of grist · Medium enzyme activity · Bread, honey & caramel · Sold per 100 g

What it does in your beer

Same pronounced malt aroma as Type 1 — caramel, honey and bread — but kilned darker, so it brings noticeably more colour. Medium enzyme activity means it can make up the whole grist or deepen a paler base.

Weyermann lists it for Festbier, Märzen, Kellerbier and smoked beer, Munich Dunkel, Czech dark lager and Schwarzbier, dark doppelbock, Black IPA and imperial pale ale, Bière de Garde, British brown ale, Baltic, English, American and imperial porters, Russian imperial stout and Flanders red.

At a glance

How much for a 20 L batch

Up to 100 % of the grist.

As a guide, 1 kg in 20 L adds ≈ 7.3 EBC of colour on its own and ≈ +10.8 gravity points (≈ +2.71 °P) at 75 % efficiency (approx., Morey colour / extract-based gravity, mid 22.5 EBC, 78 % extract).

In the quantity box each unit is 100 g, so 30 means 3 kg.

How to use

• Treat it as a base malt — medium enzyme activity, up to 100 % of the grist.
• For a Dunkel or Schwarzbier, let it carry most of the grist and build extra colour with a caramel or roasted malt.
• Lab saccharification time per Weyermann's spec: max. 20 minutes.
