Google-wisdom aside, what's been your experience in using the two grains?
I'm finding that if I want a light base for blondes and pales, Pilsner is easily as good as standard 2-row. When I want more saturated malt flavor and bigger backbone, I want Pale 2-row. My local pale malt is Blackland Pale Moon- it's pretty awesome.
I've taken to buying by the bag and try to keep German Pilsner as well as the Blackland on hand. I don't think I'm missing anything except maybe economy by skipping the standard American 2-row.
Thoughts?
