Dark Munich is out (it was the Gambrinus 30 L). Weyermann 9L Munich (whatever you want to call it) is in.

Not sure about the Gambrinus but wouldn't be surprised if it is 6-row. Briess makes a Munich 10L and Munich 20L that are both 6-row but they also have a Bonlander Munich 10L that is 2-row and an Aromatic Munich 20L that is also 2-row.

I'm sure that beer will turn out great.

I made 11#s light munich and .25#s Carapils with 1/2oz Nugget and 3/4 oz of Hallertau and it was good beyond belief.

Made it again last spring with just 11#s light munich and 1 oz Perle and almost 1/2 oz of Liberty and Crystal leftovers and its just off the hook. Not quite dark enough for a real bock, but I'm sure anyone on this forum would drink it and gladly have another one.

That WLP833 has me intrigued, I will have to try that one. I used WLP810 the first time and w34/70 most recently. I may make it again weekend after next and try some of the melanodin malt as well.

Boundaries are meant to be pushed; that is best achieved through experimentation. I don't think any one is going to quibble about a couple of IBU, gravity points, or SRM.

If I wanted a commercial beer I'd go buy one and save the time
