Need Help with my Helles recipe

[Hopittome15]

Ingredient Name
Weyermann Pilsner 8 lbs, 0 oz
Weyermann Munich Type II 4 lbs, 0 oz
Gambrinus Honey Malt 0 lbs, 8 oz
Tettnang, German Pellets 2 oz @ 60 mins
Tettnang, German Pellets 2 oz @ 15 mins
Tettnang, German Pellets 2 oz @ 1 mins
White Labs German Bock 1 ea

Estimated Og- 1.068
Estimated Fg- 1.018
IBU- 32.5
SRM- 8.62
ABV- 6.55

I guess my question is, is Munich Type II the same as regular Munich malt? I'm trying to order everything from Brewmasterswarehouse.com and I think that is the closest they have.

Way too high for the style if a true Helles you are going for.
A helles recipe is a simple one.
Pils malt for 90%, Cara Pils for 10% and bittering to 16 to 22 IBUs
Og between 1045 - 1051 Fg 1008 - 1012
Ferment @ 50f using a quality German lager yeast.

What boo boo said. A Helles is pilsner malt based. In any event the Munich II is dark Munich ~10-12 Lovibond. Munich I is ~6-8L.

Here is the best advice I've read about a Helles.
