Alternative to Joe White Traditional Ale Malt

[Horatio]

Howdy folks

Can brewers recommend an alternative grain to use as a regular base malt? My last two 25kg sacks have been JW Traditional Ale malt and it's a good malt. I just want to try something different so thought I'd ask.

I brew ales only, IPAs, pale ales, amber ales, american stouts, belgian pale ales, well that's been the styles I've brewed to date, been at it for a year.

What do folks suggest...

I would have suggested Viking Pale ale malt but I got the last bag $49.50 and will no longer be available. So Golden Promise or Maris Otter.

Ive been using Gladfield American Ale pretty much exclusively - Nice and clean + Batch and a couple other syd brewers use it.

Maris Otter or Golden Promise. Simples.

Try the coopers ale malt, not golden promise or marris otter but locally made and not JW

I use Coopers Schooner where the recipe calls for Marris Otter. A blend of that and Coopers Premium Ale.
Cheers

I tend to use Castle Pale Ale malt for APA’s, IPA’s etc.

Thank you all very much. I think some experimentation might be in order, smaller batches in a smaller fermenter that I have. I think I'll start Simpson's Golden Promise going by its description.

Cheers, drink beers.
