That was my concern with using strickly munich and vienna. I actually thought about pilsner malt. Maybe i'll do either a maris otter base or 2 row, with a little munich/vienna. Cut the percentages down and get rid of the crystal malt.



IMO if you are going to try to make a German beer, you should use German ingredients. So stick with the Pils/Vienna rather than the Maris Otter. I think the Maris Otter will put you closer to a British biscuit taste rather than the less malty sweet beer you are looking for. then use Caramunich/vienne rather than British Crystal.

I had those same thoughts. I looked at my ingredients and realized the maris otter was the only non-german thing there.

I'll strike the maris otter, and use either pilsner or german pilsen. I already took out the crystal.
