Malt forward German style?

[The Baron]

I use a recipe that is usually 1/3rd each of Pale Ale Malt, Vienna and Munich with typical German hops for a nice maltyish brew but I am wanting to make it more malt forward what would you add to this recipe and how much to ?

Maybe try an Edinburg water profile.

Drop the pale malt for Vienna. The Vienna lager I’ve brewed a few times has been 75% Munich 25% Vienna.

Will do CC and Mick
I have read of using Crystal which I am not sure of or Melanodin too
Maybe not in German styles but English

 

[The Baron]

Just to add I have darker Munich 25 EBC against the standard I use of 15 EBC will this give a sweeter maltier taste to it too as I have never used it before

 

[Agentgonzo]

Increase the proportion of Munich malt, or use a higher EBC Munich malt (ie, Munich II instead of Munich I). Or even dark Munich malt.

 

[The Baron]

I bought the Munich as Dark malt for that reason but was surprised it was only 25 ebc against 15 ebc fo some reason I thought it would be more
