What is a good grain replacement for extra light malt extract?

[jdvaldez1]

So I am brewing an ale and it is asking for 6.6 pounds of "extra-light" malt extract. I was wondering what is a grain replacement for that extract also is there a rule of thumb for which grains to use for the type of extract?

Possible subs would be 2-row, pale ale malt, or pilsner. I would base it on the rest of the recipe, for example for an American ale probably domestic 2-row, for a Belgian or German ale pilsner malt, for an English ale Maris Otter or your favorite English pale malt.

Awesome, Thanks for the quick reply. I think since I am trying a brown ale I'll try the pale malts for sure.
