im really confused on the different types of base malts and was hoping someone could clear this up for me.
What are the different kinds of base malts available?
Do all base malts fall into a few basic categories like pale, pilsner, or wheat? Is there some kind of outlining showing what malts are subcategories of certain styles?
Is, for example, pale malt a style of 2 row? and is marris otter just a style of a british pale malt? And is that basically just 2-row that is grown in Great Britain?
Im still a newb to all grain and have been making APAs with 2-row great western malt. I want to try some different kinds of base malts out and am utterly confused now.
thanks for any and all help.
