Greetings every one!!!!! First off I would like to introduce my self. I am Joshua and I am in my 3rd year of brewing beer and mead. As for my question what would be a great base malt for brewing?
I made an Irish Red with Vienna as the base malt. It came out awesome. For a Scottish Ale, Golden Promise is great. Otherwise, I'm usually using Briess 2-row.
Unsurprisingly it looks like there are a lot of options and opinions you could choose from. I'll give you another: Rahr 2-row for American and Maris Otter for most Western European styles.
So, with that in mind I guess this would be an easier question to answer if you mentioned what types of beer you like best.
I've been using rahr 2-row & marris otter in equal amounts with crustal/specialty grains in my Hopped & Confused ale. Going for a pseudo lager with it. I like the flavors from that combo. But might also try rahr & weyerman's lager malt with it next time.
