Munich Dunkel recipe critique

Here is a recipe for a Munich Dunkel that I came up with. What do you guys think? There is no dark munich malt around hence the Carafa.

10 gallon batch

OG: 1.056
FG: 1.013
IBU: 22
SRM: 19

23.5 lb. Munich 10L 94%
1 lb. Caramunich 50L 4%
.75 lb. Carafa I 320L 2%

3 oz. Hersbrucker Hallertau 4% 60 min. 19 IBU
1 oz. Hersbrucker Hallertau 4% 15 min. 3 IBU

At 10L that is dark Munich, if it's German Munich. That's what you should be using as domestic Munich really isn't a base malt. Assuming that is German Munich, you're off to a good start but I would eliminate or at least drastically cut back on the crystal malt. The 2% Carafa is a good amount.

I'd eliminate the crystal as well.

Munich malt and a small amount of Carafa Special for color should get you there.

I cut the caramunich back to .25 lb. Thanks for the input everyone!
