So inevitably when one gets into a hobby, one makes a strange purchasing decision or three, simply because they didnt know any better.
I bought a 25kg bag of Chateau Malt Pale Ale (http://www.esbrewing.com.au/castle-chateau-pale-ale.html). I've brewed a couple of batches with it, and it's great... but now that I know a little more about what's going on, i'm realising that it perhaps isn't the most ideal malt for APA's and the like.
Clearly the answer seems to be: go buy a more normal pale or pilsener malt for the APAs, and use the rest of the bag of belgian malt on belgian beers - but maybe some Pommy recipes might work as well? Or other styles?
I can't find much mention of the specific brand on the site - but are there any close substitutes?
I've also looked through the recipeDB, and can't find much in the way of belgian style recipes. I don't much trust the rest of the internet, so does anyone have any suitable recipe links that are tried and tested?
