I am planning a Three Floyds Alpha King recipe and the one I found at http://www.brew365.com/beer_three_floyds_alpha_king.php with the following grain bill:
12 lbs. - 2 Row Pale Malt
1 lb. - Crystal Malt (60L)
1/4 lb. - Special B Malt
1/8 lb. - Melanoidin Malt
My local brew shop has everything except the melanoidin. I don't want to place an order online and pay shipping for a mere 2 oz. of malt. For purposes of this recipe will I likely notice a difference by just leaving off that malt or is there a suitable substitute that might work?
