i found this recipe in the brewmaster's bible... i changed the yeast and guessed on the hops cause the brewer only uses big handfulls of hops.

15 lbs munich malt
2 oz hallertau full boil
1 oz hallertau @ 30
1 oz hallertau @ 15

white labs german/kolsh ale yeast slurry.

should be malty and hoppy

og 1.072
40 ibu's

aiming to let it ferment down to 1.020 or so for 6.5 abv

A grain bill of 15lb for is what you need for a pretty strong Bock beer (given an efficiency of 70%). You should be able to cut down on the amount of malt and get to about 12lb.

But yes, imported malt from Germany will be more expensive. I think it's worth it. I'll soon be buying 55lb bags of Weyermann Pilsner and Munic II malt. My LHBS sells them for $45 each, if I remember correctly.
