Hello - I'll be attempting my second brew next weekend, which is a slightly modified version of the Mill Run Stout recipe by Palmer. I am using DME plus steeping some specialty grains.
The recipe calls for 1/2 lb. of "Black Roast Barley"
Without thinking things through, I ended up ordering something called "Black - crushed grains 500g (Warminster)" from thehomebrewcompany and then realized there were several variations of black malt, roasted malt, roasted black malt, black patent etc out there, and I can't quite figure out what is what, or if these are even different malts at all!
Did I order the right thing? And these both the same as Black Patent? If I can figure out what I bought, then I can modify the recipe accordingly.
