Thanks Kyle, I may make MO my new 2-row.
You should also consider Golden Promise.
This is the beauty of SMaSH beers. You can really get to know your base malt.
I still think American 2-Row Pale Malt has a firm place in the home brewery. Consistent from year to year. always fresh from the LHBS. Flavor profile associated with benchmark brands for American styles (i.e. SNPA).
In most cases, the extra diastatic power is desired. No worries about full conversion with high-adjunct grists or reduced rest time. It also builds in some forgiveness for poor/inconsistent process, equipment setup, or temp control - especially helpful for new AG brewers.
Has anyone completely gone away from American 2-row? Maybe this is a good Charlie Survey question.
