Yeah, but those are like twice the cost.Your would see a bigger difference if you chose Maris Otter or Crisp instead of those 2.

The first sack is the best.It's the time the little voice in the back of your head says you are taking this hobby a bit too far.Upon which your logical side tells it to shut the hell up.Seriously though,Grab about 6 grains of one, and munch on them.Cleanse you palate with a bit of water, beer is even better.Repeat for the other type.What flavor do you want in your beer?That's the one you buy.If brewing an IPA or some hoppy pale thing stop here.If you're doing a mild or reasonably balanced beer walk over to the British 2 row and repeat.Convince yourself that the flavor difference isn't worth the extra $25 or whatever.And that's spread across 10 cases of beer. Umm... 2 bucks a case.Still want to be cheap?Being unemployed myself, I feel your pain.So I am going to be getting a sack of 2-Row. I've never bought a sack before, ...

+1 I have brewed with both of these GW products and I think they are both superb. I have 2 sacks of Pale currently and yes its a tad darker but it performs just as well as the 2 Row too. I say just pick one and give it a go. Buying in bulk like that is the way to go and I bet you will like it so much that you will get another sack sometime then you can choose whatever you didn't get the first time around. Both are quality consistent malts. Good Luck brewing!!Both will serve you fine. Your choice of recipe ( specialty malts), mash temp, & yeast will allow you to manipulate the final outcome more than either these malts. Your would see a bigger difference if you chose Maris Otter or Crisp instead of those 2.

That's so true.kind of like the first group pallet order. Our last group buy was over 4,000 pounds. ("I said, shut the hell up!!")It's the time the little voice in the back of your head says you are taking this hobby a bit too far.Upon which your logical side tells it to shut the hell up.
