Hi,
I'm just starting to research how to homebrew beer, so I apologize if this question sounds too obvious.
As I understand, malt plays a very important role on the final product. Most of the recipes available asks for 2-row pale malt, which is the most common (at least on north america and europe). However, down here (in Brazil) pale malt is a bit rare, maybe because the mega brewers just sell pilsner beer.
I'm trying to discover if there is a good substitute for pale malt as the base malt, which wont negatively impact the taste and aroma. The most common malt here is pilsner malt from Cargil, and another pilsner malt from a local maltser. There are also the munich and vienna malts from Weyermann, and some special malts like Cristal, Carared, Carahell, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, and I hope my english doesn't sound too terrible (I'm not a native speaker)
