barley question

[jgoodhart]

I was wondering if roasted barley was the same as black non-malted barley. My recipe called for roasted barley and all the brew shop had was "black" non-malted roasted barley. The guy said this was the same and could be used as the same. I was unsure but I ended up getting it anyway. I thought the "black" barley was used for porters and stouts? Will there be much difference and should I use it? It is for a "raspberry" fruit beer recipe I found on here and wanted to try. Doesnt seem right....any suggestions??

It is true that they are both non-malted but black is much darker; 300L for roasted, 500L for black, and yes, they are most often used in porters and stouts.

Can you link the recipe posted here. What you got is just for color.
