What 2 base malts would you stock?

I just got a new maltmill for xmas. I ran out and bought two 60# vittlevaults and filled one with a Munton's Perle 2 row pale malt.

My question is, what would you put in the other, and what would you replace with when you were done with the first?

I did mean to get Maris Oter, but mistakenly bought the wrong one. I was thinking of getting a pilsner malt, but still not sure what base malt is most practice for many different styles....

Thanks in advance.

2 row and Pale ale malt

BeerAlchemy lists my top two fermentables over the past 3 months as US 2-row (45.63%) and light Munich (11.31%).

In my brewery, Maris Otter and Pilsner are the two malts I use most frequently; of course, I make English and Belgian style beers 5:1 compared to American styles.

I use US 2-row and maris otter malt the most. It's probably close to 50/50 in how much I use of each. Second is Munich malt, with Vienna malt just behind that. I bought 40 or 50 pounds of 2-row and MO, and 20 pounds each of Vienna and Munich.

2 Row (variety depending on your brewing prefs) & Pils

German pils + Maris Otter

I have always kept English Pale Ale malt around in bulk, and I think I am going to start keeping some pilsner around too since I find myself doing more lagers as of late. US 2 and 6 row are only required occasionally so I just buy those as needed.

Muntons Maris Otter and Munich

US 2 Row and Pils.

But since I keep 4 on hand, + MO and Munich

I make a lot of wheat beers, so if I had to choose just two, one of them would have to be a sack of wheat. Probably Pils for the other.

Another vote here for MO and Pils.

MO and Munich for me.

Golden Promise and Pils are what I like best, but I usually keep a domestic (rahr) 2-row on hand also.

tough call. i use EVERYTHING, but marris otter and vienna would probably be my top choices.

How can the question be answered if we don't know styles of beer you drink?

My base malts (always on hand) are Extra Light DME and Wheat DME.

I steep grains to add color, etc.

I plan on stocking MO and 2 Row in bulk and then half bags of Vienna and Munich once I get a grain mill. Basically Yoopers stock.

Two?! I keep domestic 2 row, MO, pilsen, vienna, munich and wheat. You never know what you might want to brew or when you can brew (at least for me) so I keep everything around for nearly anything I might want to make. But I have a problem where I see a recipe I like and order the ingredients for it randomly. But if I had to keep just two, MO and probably wheat. But thats for my tastes, I like hefe and British beers most. If you're into German or Belgian beers it changes things.
