Looking for some good basic Dunkel recipes. I was thinking of doing a really malty, smooth brown ale but thought maybe a dunkel might get me more of what I am looking for. I have had a couple of tasty commercial examples lately which have piqued my interest.I assume Munich base malt? What do I use for color? Chocolate or Carafa malt maybe?Would 34/70 be an acceptable yeast for the style?
I got a fresh slurry of Bavarian Lager 2206 from Cigar City since I was brewing with one of their brewers at my house.
What maltster was the Munich II? What litner rating?
Last question. What kind of water profile? Brown balanced, malty, etc?

I personally like a 'brown balanced' type profile - using all Munich is gonna give you a ton of malt character , even using the balanced profile. And the 'malty' would further accentuate the malt character.
