I take it you've not seen marilyn mansons wife then!any one with a wife like that ain't fruity.

As you may already know pale malt is a fully modified malt that's kilned at low temp for long period till moisture is about 3 per cent,with good diastatic activity,colour is usualy 5 EBC. Lager malt (kilned same as above)was traditionally poorly modified,hence step't infusion/decoction...
