The absolute minimum. Rahr 2-row will do just fine.

Middle of the road. It's just a little more $$ so why not?

A base malt poll
|
|
So all 2-row is created equal, or is it?
What type/brand of base malt does everyone use? Bargian basement? middle of the road,? Marris Otter?
Please share your experiences as to why you use what you use.

need a reply "whatever the LHBS sells". I guess normally I by Briess, but honestly I never check what the sack he pulls it out of says. I assume it's Briess since they are right up the hiway.

Maris Otter if it's available. Muntons 2 row otherwise. At $35 for 25 kg for either of them, it's much cheaper than buying domestic malts in one ot ten pound bags, and besides, I only brew English style ales.

I'm still working on a 50# sack of Rahr that I paid $26 for. Beers with it have been great.

My local shop only sells organic and that is what I have been using. Gambrinus is the maker.

Maris Otter, Golden Promise from Thomas Fawcett by way of North Country Malts. These floor malted grains have a flavor that can hold up in a hoppy APA.

Where do y'all get your base malt grains? I got invited to the "back room" at the LHBS, and I was not impressed with their storage - very hot, very disorganized, poor selection. morebeer.com seems to have great prices - anybody have any experience with mail order whole grain from them (or another supplier)? |

I have bought grain from northern brewer and morebeer. Both were quality and fresh. Dealing in that volume, they have a good rotation of grain. NB even labels and dates each grain package.
