That is the question
Assuming no real difference in price, which do you prefer?
I'm asking because I'm looking to start stockpiling ingredients, so I need a solid base malt to start with.
Unless I'm using a crazy amount of adjuncts, diastatic power is practically the same with the two. It really comes down to versatility. Im sure I can do smashes (as long as I'm testing hops and yeast), but are there certain styles that are better than others?
I assume that pilsner and specialty ones like maris otter and pearl will throw this a bit out of whack with everyone's opinions, but lay it on me my brewing brothers and sisters
