American 2-Row vs. British Pale
Pawtucket Patriot:
Are they different enough to justify buying both in bulk? I bought a 55 lb bag of each last year and need to make another bulk grain purchase because my supplies are running low. Historically, I have brewed my American beers with the 2-row as a base malt and my British beers with the Pale. I'm not sure if there is enough of an appreciable difference to justify buying 55 lb bags of both. Your insights/suggestions are appreciated!
bo_gator:
I personally buy CMC 2 row pale and TF Maris Otter, and could not imagine life without them both,but then again I also keep German and Belgian Pilsner malts too ::)

Did you brew anything with close enough recipes between the two sacks that you could draw a conclusion?

I love Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter - wouldn't do without it. That said, if you are not making English style beers US pale 2-row is all you need.

Definately worth getting at least both
Got a sack of Golden Promise the last group grain buy , they were out of Optic :(
I really liked the beers when Optic was the base malt.
