Im planning on brewing a dry stout. Here in mexico Im not able to get maris otter, can I add 2row base malt instead? Or is it really necesary to use maris otter?
Thanks
Thanks
You can use two-row, and maybe try toasting a couple of pounds of it, to sort of emulate maris otter. It won't be the same, but it would still be very good in a stout!
How much pilsner do you have?
i'd say don't over complicate it - just use the two row. in something like a dry stout, i think it would be difficult to distinguish one base malt from another.
Yeah the OP was making a dry stout. I tagged along on this necro thread from 2012...

That makes sense. I'll check back for your result. I have 2 lbs of 2 row in oven at 250 right now. Letting it go 25 min.
