I like that they use all German malts.

At 75% eff, that would give you about 1.064 w/ 38 IBU. The bu/gu ratio is good, but the OG is a bit high. Should be in the 1.050-56 range. If you do drop the OG be sure to drop the IBU too. 1.056 and about 30 IBU should be a good target.

I like the So. German Lager yeast for this. But that's a personal preference.
