How much difference is there between American made pilsner malt and Pilsner malt from Germany, Belgium, etc... ?
I've been listening to the Jamil Show podcasts and he stresses the use of continental pilsner malts when making German and Belgian style beers. The thing is that I can buy "Ida Pils" malt made by "Cargill" for super cheap from the local Brewery. Continental pilsner malt will cost me twice as much.
Do I really need to have expensive European pilsner malt or should I RDWHAHB?
