High Gravity Oktoberfest Ale

[eaglecreekbrewing]

Im brewing this to be ready by October 21st.

I have 9.3 lbs of Munich LME and 3.3 lbs of Pilsen Light for a 5 gallon batch

Specialty Grains: 8 oz. Carapils, 8 oz. Caramel 40L

Hops: 1.5 oz. Mt. Hood (60 mins), 1 oz. Hallertau pellet hops(5 mins)

Yeast: White Labs WLP029 German Ale


Questions:

1. Do I have too much LME? I want my final alcohol % to be around 6-8%

2. What would you recommend for time in the Primary and Secondary?

Any other suggestions are welcome!


Thanks!
