Choosing the Right Grains for Your Beer
Here's a brief preview of the article:
With an embarrassingly large variety of grains available to the homebrewer these days, it can be difficult to make choices among them. There is so much to consider, for instance, a small amount of dark crystal malt will result in the same color as a larger amount of lighter crystal malt, but the flavor and aroma will not be the same. It is necessary to have some understanding of the malting process, and to develop familiarity with the different types of malts to make choices that will result in the beer ending up the way you want it to.
Please feel free to make comments here.
A very nice article on subject that a lot of homebrewers have no idea on what to do. Useful guides are the brewing style guidebooks that will tell you what % of the different grains to use in the total grist of the style you are brewing. I have about 5 of the style books and plan on adding all of them to my library for guides to recipe formulation.
