Any thoughts before I try it out?

Need some munich!

it does
1.00 lb Caramunich Malt

That's not munich. That is a crystal malt. Two different animals. You might want to consider adding about 30% munich and cut back the honey malt...

I agree with Pooh. Especially with the extract, you run the risk of a too sweet beer with that much caramunich and honey malt. If you want to add color, try some Carafa...unhusked if you can get it.

#1 on munich, not caramunich. But I always used munich in a mash. Anyone want to weigh in on how well it would work steeped in this extract recipe?
