Ha. right. I deleted the part that might have given a hint as to what they were. But, this is actually the part that you would be most likely to grok, as it happens. :)
Those are the BJCP-defined ranges for the beer style (Munich Helles). Homebrew competitions are judged by category, and those categories are defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program. I use a software package to do calculations and things, and it helpfully offers you the ranges when you are developing your recipe. I just exported the recipe from that program and deleted a couple of lines.
So, were I to be brewing for competition, those parenthetical numbers would serve as a friendly caution to find a more appropriate style category to enter in than munich helles.
