I've never made beer before, but I've decided to go nuts and try to make the AG Leffe clone from the beer captured book. I've been reading the recipe and would like to know a couple things about the ingredients:
1. The recipe calls for Belgian two-row pilsner malt, which I don't think I can get locally. But I can get Canadian two-row and Weyermann two-row. Would these make adequate substitutes?
2. I need a substitute for a small amount of Honey malt (2 oz).
3. I need to substitute at least one of the hops:
1/2 OZ. (21 g) Pride of Ringwood at 9.3AA (4.7 HBU) (bittering hop)
Boil for 45 minutes then add: 1/2 OZ.
(14 g) Styrian Goldings (flavor hop)
I can't get the Pride of Ringwood, and am looking for an alternative.
Thanks.
