Hey is there an ale that uses Munich malt as the base? I would do a dark lager, but I don't have lagering abilities yet.

You can do a lager-like munich dunkel ale if you use a nice neutral yeast like US05 or Nottingham.

'Best Laid Plans' in my recipe dropdown (you need to scroll past all the recipe guidelines) is a munich-based oatmeal stout.

Having done a stout just last week I'm thinking of either going the dunkel route and fermenting around 60*F with Nottingham, or doing a Munich SMASH. If I do go the SMASH route I'll only have access to Chinook, Cascade, Cenntenial, Tradition, and Willamette. I'm thinking about using the Tradition or Willamette.

I would personally ferment the dunkel with Kolsch yeast or even better Wyeast 2112 California Lager Yeast. They both ferment well at 60F. And one is actually a lager, why compromise for an ale yeast when you can use a warm fermenting lager yeast!!! Unless of course you don't have access to these...

I would use hallertauer as well. That's just me though.

Yeah availability is the main issue right now. The store that started selling brewing supplies in town is very limited and very over priced. They only have Danstar and Fermentis dry yeasts, and a few select types of specialty grain.

I did a Munich SMaSH and it has been great. I have a really good idea how to use it now. I did a rest at 140 and one at 152 to try and improve my attenuation. Munich has a tendency to leave a bit of sweetness so you should either plan for it or find a way to make your wort more fermentable.

IIRC, the 2112 yeast will give a lot of character to the beer that isn't typically wanted in a Munich-style beer; their beers are malty and clean, with just a touch of hop to balance, but very little yeast character.

Yes, I am aware. Are you suggesting that Nottingham would be more authentic?

We're not talking about brewing to style here, we're talking about brewing something with what he has.

That's an even better idea, I think. That's what I would do.
