So I'm about to tackle my first AG next weekend and decided to do a clone, so I taste mine against the real thing to see how well I did. Long and the short of it is, I found Flat Ass Tired recipe by hophead. Went to my LHBS and got everything I needed. The problem I have is that he calls for 6 lbs of Belgium Pale malt and 2 lbs of home toasted Pale malt and when I got my grains I just said 8lbs of Belgium Pale malt. I got all my grain home I noticed that they were nice enough to crush my grains for me, all of them. So now I do not have 2lbs of uncrushed malt to toast. I'm wondering if I should buy 2 more lbs of pale malt and roast then add to my existing grain bill or add something different. Any help would be great help. Below is the recipe I am working with.

"The flavor similarities in this beer to Fat Tire are remarkable. SRM is 12 and Fat Tire is more like 11, so it's very close. I think the key to the flavor lies in the amber malt (Belgian Pale home toasted at 350F for 25 mins). Highly recommeded by my "Beer Wench"...Before anyone questions the IBU's...the balance of the beer takes care of it. If anyone brews it, please let me know what you think.
