I am planning on brewing a clone of New Glarus Belgian Red Ale and the recipe calls for Belgian Roast Malt. However I am unable to find this exact name malt. It's only half an ounce for a five gallon brew. I however have found other roast barley and wondering if any could be used as sub?
Belgian roast barley substitute?

At that amount I dont know if it matters much I would just match the color. Perhaps British roast barley

It's probably Dingemans debittered black malt. Weyermann Carafa Special III is as close as you can get. The "debittered" part means huskless, which is what the "special" part of Weyermann's is.
But I agree, in such a small amount, any roasted barley would work. Just shoot for a European roasted barley if you want to match color. Briess is only like 300L, where European varieties are 500L or greater.
