Which would it be? I buy in bulk and like to have 10-20 pounds of xtal malt and 100-200 pounds of base malt around at all times. For base malts I always have one "standard" base around like pale or pils and one that is slightly kilned like munich or vienna.
Then I like to have a crystal malt around for color adjustment, flavor, body, head retention, etc..etc.......
So lately I have pretty much settled on C80 as my all around "workhorse" crystal malt. It give good color and I find the flavor to give normal caramel sweetness with a slight roasty edge that adds complexity to my paler ales.
What are you guys using as your "go to" crystal malt and why?
