Here is a link I have been visiting for days now

http://www.brewstock.com/brewstockbrewing.html

It is basically a chart where the companies and their malts are categorized....according to how they might be substitutes for one and other.

My question is: would you say that there might be a little bit of difference in the resulting beer, but this chart is totally correct when it comes to finding malt substitutes? I mean if I use now weynermann's pale ale malt...can I change that, for instance, for Munton's pale ale malt and more or less get the same results?

I am wondering if in the end the only main difference is that there are several companies out there offering similar malts that are more or less the same.
 
Most of the maltsters try to offer a complete line of malts, and consequently there are going to be similarities between different products. But, each malt will have its own characteristics, too. The differences are generally more important in lighter malts than in darker malts. Roasted barley is roasted barley, but there's a lot of nuance in base malts.

Ok. Thanks for the info.
