Munich Helles

I have Munich Lager II going at the moment. Please tell me how fantastic it is.

Sorry I can't comment on the Munich lager yeast as I haven't even brewed the dry yeast version yet, so slack h34r:

I have been thinking about it though and I'm going to go with just Pils & Melanoidin and see if that is malty enough.

so help a bruvva out here,

you guys have won comps for this style - a style that historically at least, requires a decoction, and you haven't done one?

you've achieved the malty profile that a decoction achieves by using other grains or wot?

Pretty sure it's the melanoidin malt they're adding...

Me too. I think that's why Jamil adds a couple % of melanoidin. Kind of a cheat's decoction.
I may try the recipe from BCS for my second attempt.
Just concept-testing the ball valve in my 150 litre kettle now, and I have cleaned up my conical that Droid I and bought from Brewnut.
Getting closer to my first 70 litre batch of Helles.
Loved the flavour last time I made this wort.
