It's not clear whether you're planning on steeping the Munich, but that grain is supposed be mashed unless you want unconverted starch in your beer. If you were gonna do at a mini mash with it, shoot for at least a 1:1 ratio with the other grains and 1-2 qts water per pound of grain in order to have enough diastatic power for conversion.

Bottle this a couple of weeks ago, had a bottle last night. A little maltier than I was going for, but otherwise a nice beer.

Malty as in sweet, or as in toasty/grainy? If its sweet I would cut back on the crystal next time and go for a darker munich.

Malty as in sweet. It is coming around as it carbonates. I will definitely try cutting back on the crystal next time!
