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.
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.
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.
Kaiser has a real nice Alt bier that's 89% Munich.
