I am new to all grain, and will start milling my own this week. I am not in a situation where group buys are an option, so I want to buy a 50-55 pound bag of a base 2-row and I will continue to buy smaller quantities of the other malts.
I see several types of 2 row malt in varying prices. I see 2-row whole malt, 2 row pale ale malt, Maris Otter Malt, Canadian Pale Whole, and Golden Promise Whole (in increasing order of price)
My generally enjoy Pale Ales, IPAs, Belgian Whites and English Pale Ales.
If you had to choose one malt as your quantity buy (and base for any recipe calling for 2-row), which one will give the best quality beer? I understand that the taste may vary based on the type of malt used...what is my safest choice?
I appreciate any input...and I lean towards quality over price.
