Thanks for the suggestions, have another question. How much grain and hops for a 5.5 gallon batch?
What would you like for a starting gravity and how many IBU are you looking for? What yeast are you planning to use?
At 70% efficiency, 10 lbs Light Munich should give you an OG around 1.052. It will self-convert, but not as easily as North American malts, so a 90 minute mash might be helpful, though not necessary. I'd mash at 150ish like Tre9er suggested, unless you want a malt bomb. Most noble hops are in the 4-5% alpha range, so you'd need about 1.5-2oz to get 30-35 IBUs, though with noble hops it will taste like less than that. Add however many ounces you want late-boil and dry-hop to get a feel for the hops; zero, two, twelve, it's up to you. US-05 and notty would both be fine for this; they'll allow the other ingredients to take center stage.
