Looks like you need a three shovels full of base malt to me.

I am not sure what it would be style wise, but you could use all the pilsner, all the cara and about #1 of the munich and do a small batch, mash low with a step up at the end, lean towards the saaz and you could have something ok. I guess.

It wouldn't hurt to add pale malt or more pilsner, ie more base malts as Fartinmartin suggest

Looks like an Oktoberfest to me. Tis the season.

It does seem like you were thinking dunkel or O-fest.

Munich is a base malt, in the sense that it can convert itself and be used for 100% of the grist as in a munich dunkel.

agreed that it has sufficient diastatic power.

Perhaps I need to try a munich dunkel, but i find munich very strong and from experience wouldn't use it as a base malt.....

but you have me thinking now
