Coors light clone i created ended up being very awesome....take a look

Domestic 2 row is closer to 1.6 to 2 ° from my research. I could be wrong though. Lots of names, pale, pale ale, 2 row, and pilsen. I ran across this when I first started making lagers. I was worried I was using the wrong grain. Pilsen is similar lovibond iirc and since its all 2 row, not considering style guides, taste of grain might rule. I do see "pale malt" is listed darker. From that research on I never worried too much. Not surprised that brulosophy tests showed little difference. Thanks for sharing that. I will check it out. But I can confirm a low lovibond 2 row will produce a beautiful light golden pilsner. I would use whatever tastes best. Honestly, simpsons golden promise is my go to right now if I can afford it. Cant imagine it would make a light beer taste off in any way.

Simspon, you say...? I'll remember that name.
(Ok sorry could not resist the obscure reference!)

Good points. I guess when you are using such a small grain bill the type/ L° allows for some flexibility. I have some "true" pilsner grain i want to brew with soon, but it sure costs more than bulk 2-row.
