Advice with recipe
Hi everyone
I am in the mood to brew this weekend, but I only have about 3 kg of Vienna and 3 kg of munich malt left.
It is my understanding that both of these are considered base malts, so a 50/50 batch should be fine, shouldn't it?
I have a crapload of different hops, so I can even play around with a nice hoppy beer.
Has anyone ever gone 50/50 on these malts before?
Cheers

Vienna is great. It'll do great in a 50/50 relationship with another malt, like Munich. I think the two would go great together. Would make for a great darker, malty beer if you ask me. I'd go easier on the hops to let the Vienna come through. Saaz hop if you have would be great.
But that's just my opinion.

Perfect. Thanks Toxxyc. I actually have a sealed bag of Saaz in the deep freeze.

No reason why it shouldn't work out to a good beer. I would use all of the Vienna and then just the amount of Munich required to get to your density & volume. Just my view, not sure what your capacities are.
+1 for the noble hopsLast edited by Langchop; 19th July 2019 at 22:41.

Agree with Mr Langchop, vienna base and some Munich, I'd go for a pilsner to shine the malt or a fruity ipa

50/50 Munich&Vienna, 10-15 % Caramunich II or III, 34/70 and noble hops and you have Munich Dunkel. Aim for 1.050 OG 25 IBU 30 EBC.

I value your experience more than your opinion - You could but you shouldn't - You should but I wouldn't - Time is on your side, never rush a beer - Have fun, its only beer - Don't believe all the crap you read on the www

Also a good plan, anything under 30 IBU is just not beer...I like hops

I love Munich, it's our go-to malt for building flavour.
half-and-half munich and vienna is a great flavour bomb, can't go wrong
Altbier brewed at session strenth - 1.044 colour more a Red ale than a amber/copper coloured Alt
What are you brewing?
