Description

Kilned warm and wet enough to build melanoidins without stewing the starch, which is what makes it malty rather than sweet. The class sits between the Type I and Type II a German maltster splits it into, so a file that says only `Munich` lands here rather than on a guess at which. Keeps enough enzyme to convert itself.
