Help me brew something up with my mate's Hallertau hops

[LiquidGoldBrewery]

Hi all,
Have been given some dried Hallertau hops straight off a mate's plant.
Was thinking of doing a lager or pilsner with them but wanted to tap into the AHB community's knowledge and get some suggestions please.
I only have a basic kit and can skill level and experience.
Thanks!

Do a Bock

Most of the German hops produce quite different flavours in Oz than they do in Germany. Probably best to open them up, have a sniff and maybe make a bit of tea. Depending on what you find, it's likely a good Pale Ale kit with US05 would be the go.

Wheat beer.... no question.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of doing a Bock.
Was thinking something similar to the Coopers Light German Bock recipe on DIY Coopers:
2 x 1.7kg Lager kit can.
2 x 500g Coopers Light Dry Malt.

If I was to brew it up as a "tea" in a coffee plunger, how many grams of hallertau should i use, how many litres of hot water should i steep it in, and how long should i steep it for?

Thanks in advance for your help ☺
