Just a quick question, when milling my grain for my 15 ltr DSGA instead of milling the .600g wheat malt I mistakenly grabbed a bag of munich2 instead and have milled that into my dry grain mixture before realising the mistake.
This dry mixture has given me a Base Malt (JW Trad) of 56.47% and a 43.53% mixture of .600g of munich1 and .600g of munich2 plus .187g caramunich1 ... Question is Could I brew the grain mixture as is with the .120g of munich1 & 2 which all up gives me a an OG of 1.050 and FG of 1.013 and an IBU of 34.5 @ 73% eff or as I have a hell of a lot of specialty grains in the mix would it be a bit sweet to taste or should I add say .200g of wheat malt to make the difference?
I realise that this is not going to be a DSGA as per recipe but I just want something that is drinkable, any clues??

Munich is not really a "specialty" grain like crystal or chocolate, it actually has a little less than half of the diastatic power of normal 2-row or base pale malt. No worries.....just brew it!

There are no probs there at all alanem. Classification of some malts is very hazy but as as Todd said above, Munich is definitely not a specialty malt, it's just a slightly richer type of base malt. As he said, so well, 'just brew it' 
.
In that recipe, the malts are far less important than the hops. The 'error' you think you made might even actually turn out to be a good thing if your hops are good.

I can't wait till I get a sack of munich so I can make a 100% (or near to) beer. Its so rich I looove it. I've been adding a lot of munich to my beers lately.

I've been doing the same thing with Vienna malt, it's especially yummy with Styrian Goldings.
