I think I'll have a crack at an Admirals Ale.

Don't worry about conversion with Munich malt, it will take care of itself just fine. I have had extremely good luck making almost 100% Munich malt beers (I just added a little Carafa II for color and a bit of Melonoidin malt to jack up the malty flavor just a litte). I have also had good luck with almost 100% Vienna malt, again this stuff has enough to convert itself nicely. My goal when I make beers like this is to get them as malty as possible but also dry them out because I think they taste much better when they are not real sweet.

Next year, I am going to try and make a Mexican/Texan type beer with somewhere around 20% adjunct (my weapon of choice is corn grits). Should I worry about conversion with that level of adjunct in the grist?
Drinking:Saison (in bottles), Belgian Dubbel (in bottles), Oud Bruin (in bottles), Olde Ale (in bottles),
Abbey Triple (in bottles), Munich Helles, Best Bitter (TT Landlord clone), English IPA
Conditioning: Traditional bock bier, CAP
Fermenting: Munich Dunkel
Next up: Bitter (London Pride like), ESB
So many beers to make, so little time (and cold storage space)

Cool, cheers...
Apparently something like Pale malt has the power to convert its own weight in Adjuncts... so 20% should be no bother :)

I'd use Vienna over Munich if you're thinking 20% corn, 80% Munich/Vienna - I believe it has much higher activity.
