Brewzilla Brews: The Light and Dark Sides of Munich Grains

Hey Brewers! Today we're diving into an epic brew-off between Munich Light Dark Grains.
Have you ever wondered how these grains can change your beer's taste? Brad did so he brewed up two batches to find out, and you're in for a ride! We'll analyze everything from the color, aroma, body, to the most critical aspect - flavor. We're looking for those subtle notes, the aftertaste, the mouthfeel, and everything that makes each beer unique.

Great video...now to add a Munich III side by side hah! I like using Munich II personally for those toffee notes. My best guess on the low OG cause is the sparge method. You essentially doused the grains vs. rinsed them slowly. I would bet that a lot of residual sugars were left on/in the grains given the flooding of water vs. gentle rinsing. Outside of that if your hydrometer sample was still warm or hot it definitely could have given a false reading as it would need temp correction.

[@graintoglass]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take that into consideration.

Hey guys, what's the benefit of the camlock thermometer? Are you getting better temp readings VS the BZ probe?

[@graintoglass]

We like using the inline thermometer so that we can compare the reading on the brewzilla to a known accurate thermometer. Cheers

[@DScythe888]

Low effeciency could be from that mash ph? 5.5/5.6 is usually the sweet spot for conversion

[@graintoglass]

I usually target around 5.4 and I think Brad likes it a bit lower around 5.2-5.3. I'm not sure what the mash ph was for this brew but it would certainly be somewhere in the 5.2-5.5ish range. Cheers

You meant to say Grams when instead of ounces in regards to the Salts Measurements?

[@graintoglass]

Ya Brad meant grams. That's why it's a FuF video :P

[@PatrickBuckles]

Hello my f#cked up friends. great vid as usual. I need me one of those camlock temperature thingy's. you sell it or can tell me the parts you sexy folks? I'm a newb so I don't know the sizings. Another Q, I have an exchillerator that I am going to use with my gen 4 35L. I was HOPING the integrated brewzilla pump would be powerful enough to push through the exchillerator and get back up above the top of the gen4.... the reason you are using another pump telling me it would be a failure?

[@graintoglass]

We needed to use another pump because Brad had the giant 1bbl Blichmann plate chiller hooked up. I think if your chillers is 25 feet it should work but I don't have an Exchillerator to test. We do sell the inline camlock thermometers. Cheers

[@michaelb1498]

Who does # 2 work for?

[@graintoglass]

We usually use munich 1 for lighter beers like IPA or pale ales and munich 2 in darker beers like porters, brown ales and stouts. Cheers
