9 lb Munich LME

Please let me know how this looks…my first attempt so be kind 
So i think im going with 6lbs of munich not 9 and am going to use 2 packets of saflager w-34/70 dry yeast
Looks good. I’m not sure how much rye character you will get. I think the extract is only 20% rye. I think it needs more munich too. Almost have to do a partial mash to get it closer to where I’d want it (pretty much just munich, rye, some caramunich and something else just for color.) I’ve never had rye in a bock before.
Version 2
6lb Munich LME
3.3lb Rye LME
1lb German Munich Grain
.75lb Belgian Caramunich
.25lb Chocolate Rye
1.5 oz German Hallertau Hops (60 mins.)
2 packets of Saflager W-34/70 dry yeast
Looks tasty! Let us know how it turns out.
Have you had any experience with adding sugars to add body? Like maltodextrin (only 5% fermentable) or lactose powder?
