    Substitute Malts

    Just bought a clone recipe book and I have noticed some of the malts are not available. My question is how much difference in taste are substitute malts to the listed malt? Does it really matter if the malt is not the same as listed.

I am thinking this may not be good for the grain to sit in cold water for a couple of hours...
