I only have Munich, Pilsner and some Marris Otter - about20 lbs each. And a little white wheat and victory.....

Was thinking of a malt forward beer. No style in general other thn ale (US05 yeast)

I have a bunch of C hops and some Northern Brewer.

Kinda wanted to see what an all Munich malt beer tasted like. Maybe a SMSH beer.... or a mix of the grains. Total experimental. Maybe 30/30/30 of each base malt? Lol... Nothing to do tomorrow :)

Any thoughts?

Probably do a small 6 gallon in the carboy.

Edit: also have some C40 and Carapils
 
Can’t go wrong, really. How about 50-50 Munich-pils (or up to 100-0, really), aim for 1.070 or so, and use the Northern Brewer with a light hand. Kind of an Americanized Doppelbock, if you like.
 
Just another opinion to share. Since I'm not personally a fan of pilsner malt taste, I would go 60 Munich, 40 maris otter. Then add like 0.75 lbs white wheat, then some portion of either your c40 or victory. I haven't used victory in a long time to know how potent it is, but my thought would be to use either of these as an accent flavor in the background. So maybe like 0.25 lbs.

Then something simple on hops, maybe all northern Brewer with most at 60 minutes, and maybe 0.5 oz at 15 minutes, ending up at something around 20-30 ibu.

If course, you said you're brewing today, so may have already missed the boat...
 
Or if into a light summer ale, some ratio of pils & MO, the more piles the lighter. Or mostly plis and 10-20% munich. as was already stated, you can't really go wrong. I find too much % munich is a little cloying, but that is of course an opinion.
 
Did you already brew that? Try a SMaSH with munich. The picture of my avatar was one like that. My first brew, with belle saison and target. Just keep the IBU high, around 50, because munich is a little sweet and if it stand alone, could be overwhelming.
