Not sure anyone but Pope/Rock C. could definitively answer this, but what's the recipe? I bet we could probably deduce which one was meant depending on the style/other ingredients.

100% Munich, but you can often use the 60/40 without a problem.
One trick is to reduce the base extract by the amount of base in the Munich extract. So, if you need 1 lb of munich extract, use 2.5 lbs of the 60/40 extract and reduce your base extract by 1.5 lbs.
That and bug morebeer to carry the weyermann pure decocted Munich malt extract.
I hope my post helped in some way. If not, please feel free to contact me.
Well, I just bought a jerry pack of weyermann munich extract. I guess I'll start by making an octoberfest or a vienna soon.
The decision is up to you...
What should I brew next?
Northern English Brown
Scottish 80 /-
Vienna
Octoberfest
I'm not sure I got the skilz for a lager, but I want to give it a whirl before winter.

HTH-
I have a temp controlled fridge, but that isn't the problem. I'm not sure if I can chill down to 50. When I tried a bucket with icewater, I didn't have a pump and the icewater only trickled out through the chiller tubing.

why would you do a vienna or oktoberfest with a 100% munich malt extract?
especially the vienna....if you used the 100% munich, you'd be way to dark. fest beers are a unique blend of malts (and hops) that give it character. I mean, you 'could' make those beers and they would be good, but they would do really bad if you entered them in competition.
i love munich malt, but those two styles wouldn't do so hot.
One of these days i'm going to do a munich IPA.....as you can tell i'm an east coaster and like malt in my IPA. as apposed to the west coast with your "iced-hop tea" you call IPA. Don't get me wrong i love hops...just love malt too.
