I tend to see a lot of extract based recipes online (BYO, Craft Beer & Brewing, etc.) that will call for Munich DME. From what I can tell, Briess currently only makes their Munich LME, and the closest DME they have on their website is Sparkling Amber. I have however still seen some online retailers selling 3 Lb bags of Briess Munich DME. Are these just super old? And if so, does it matter?
Briess' Munich extract is listed as a 50/50 blend of "base malt" (pale or pils ) and Bonlander Munich 10L. They don't specify what constitutes Sparkling Amber but my best guess would be that its similar to Munich but perhaps with some mid range Caramel malt added in.
