There was simply no demand for the light stuff so we no longer carry it.

So this is specific to your store. Up until yesterday, I had only ever heard roasted barley referred to as simply roasted barley, not light, or black. If you examine the link I provided even Briess refers to their's as Roasted barley, and black roasted barely. They even differeniate the lovibond rating between the two.

Personally I have never seen a grist composition requiring black roasted barley. Everything I have ever seen in recipe designs has required simply "roasted barley".
Thanks for clarifying the product that you offer.

What most (L)HBS seem to sell as "simply roasted barley" is the 500L stuff. Very few offer the "light" version.

"Black Roasted Barley" and "Roasted Barley" are the same. If you have a recipe that calls for Roasted Barley they mean the 500L stuff not the 300L stuff. I added the word black for clarification for my employees and customers when we carried both kinds.

The 300L Roasted Barley is a step child no one wants. All of the manufacturers of grain make a 500L Roased Barley. Breiss makes an additional 300L Roasted Barley as well as the normal 500L Roasted Barley. Just ignore the 300L stuff and you will be fine.

Thank you Forrest! I am placing an order on Saturday for the sale and I wanted to make sure what I buy is correct!

Thanks Forrest! I had this same question a while back and no one knew for sure. I perused some other homebrew shop websites and only saw the 500L stuff.

Thanks Forrest - I've been searching for this as of late as I ordered some grains from you guys for a dry stout and I wasn't sure if the roasted barley I had ordered was correct.
