1 lbs 2.5 oz Caramunich I (Weyermann) (51.0 SRM) 9.8 %
0.50 oz Hallertau Magnum [14.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 22.3 IBUs

1.0 pkg Octoberfest/Marzen Lager (White Labs #WLP820) [35.49 ml] Yeast
 
What would you recommend? Dropping the caramunich down a little? I also thought about adding a half pound of carapils for head retention
 
I agree with doctorduvel. I would just scale it back a little bit. I pretty much add at least a half pound or so of carapils in all my recipes. It adds some nice body and a beautiful head IMHO.
