Averagely Perfect American Stout - Poll #7 - Pale Base Malt

Maris Otter of course.

I want to do NA 2 row, I mean.. it'll back away and let the roasted malts do the talking, but.. there's something awesome to lay in the MO for a stout.

 

Golden Promise!

 

It's an AMERICAN stout. Maris Otter? Seriously? USA! USA! USA! Vote NA 2-Row! Canada! Canada! Canada!

 

Golden Promise. I have used it with good results in my porters.

 

And now you guys are going to go with an English malt and English yeast, arent you?

Chalk me up for Rahr. Is that going to be American 2 row or American Pale Ale malt?

 

Marris Otter might be nice but I picked two row. Thanks.

 

NA pale ale malt. USA,USA,etc.,........

 

Maris? Really? come on 2-row!

 

I've got nothing wrong with MO. It's a great malt.

2 row. American.

 

Yea, NA 2 Row for stout. The performance of the pale seems will be covered by the roasts etc.
An interesting blind taste test by a home brew club via a beer podcast had Maris and golden promise coming out on top for taste. But not needed for a American stout.

 

Love Golden Promise, but that would be buried under all the roasted malts. NA 2-Row for the win

 

I really disagree with all those that say MO/GP would be buried by the roasted malts, the british malts will lay down a lot of complexity in a stout and will help round out the flavors where plain 2 row will not

if you cant taste the difference between GP/MO and NA 2row in a stout your taste buds are burned out

 

Golden promise. Its my "house malt". Great in everything!

Cheers!

 

For those torn between Maris Otter and something closer to home, consider North American Pale Ale malt - it has some kilning that gives it a some toasty character, IMO.

 

It's an American Stout, so it might as well be brewed with American 2-Row.

 

As much as I love GP, I went with NA 2row. Cause it's AMERICAN.

 

NA Pale, it is the cheapest base malt my LHBS sells, my go to, and really tasty.
