Basically a 3.5-gallon batch scaled down from Sean Terrill’s. Look about right? Another homebrewer thought the Munich should be scaled back a tad.

I’m glad you’re going to do this beer! It’s a great recipe, IMO. Looks to be scaled right. I think it was me who commented on the Munich. I thought it lent a tick too much color and maltiness as compared to the real thing. A great beer nonetheless! I did a rebrew subbing(I thought) Vienna for the Munich and dickchimped it big time. Turns out I used Victory. &^%%$! Brewing it again tomorrow, this beer is too good to not have on tap all the time. Good luck!
Another brewing friend recommended keeping the Munich but dialing it back 50% (for the same reasons you cited). I look forward to hearing how your rebrew goes!
Pitched on 10g a couple of hrs. ago. Hit the #s, smooth brewday. I am now wondering if the LHBS botched what was supposed to be Vienna malt on the last brew of this recipe. IDK…
If your Munich malt is really ~10L, I’d scale back to roughly two-thirds of what the recipe calls for. The Munich I use is ~7L. Or you could switch it for Vienna, as long as it’s in roughly the right color range.
Yes. Durst, Weyermann, and Best are some of the maltsters I’ve used. There are probably others. There are typically two types, light and dark. You want the light, which is 8-10L, rather than 16-20L. If it doesn’t say what type, it’s usually light. You have the right one.
