Well you actually did a partial mash, which is what you should do with munich and wheat. It was a short one but hopefully enough to get some conversion, how much water did you "steep" in? Did you measure a gravity? You might have been more mid 1.050's if your mash did okay. Which might be good because it looks pretty bitter for a low gravity beer.
