I'm about to make the step to AG brewing and in the process of gathering recipes and ingredients. I can't get my hands on American 2-row, which a lot of recipes call for, but I can get most UK malts (MO, Halcyon, Golden Promise, Pearl, Optic). Most of those seem a bit sweeter and/or darker than US 2-row, what do you think comes closest? And how close would that be? Is a 1:1 substition enough or do I need to adjust the amounts of caramel malts too to get close?
I'm slightly worried that when I'm trying out clone recipes they will all turn out a bit too sweet.
Also, most threads I found by using the search function were about using US 2-row when UK malts aren't available, my issue is the other way around. Please help!
