KEY POINTS
● Find the grain your recipe asks for in the list below, hover over it with your mouse and find the replacement in the same row. There will be slight variations between manufacturers and each batch from a manufacturer.
● Crystal malt can be substituted with a slightly paler or darker version using more or less to get the right colour. Compare the Lovibond, SRM or EBC number supplied by the maltster with the number supplied in the recipe.
