Brewing Malt Substitution List

Brewing Malt Substitution List

As a homebrewer, I am always looking for new recipes and ingredients to add to my brews. I often come across recipes online (or in magazines) that are from US based homebrewers. In Europe, some of the malts in my local homebrew store don't always match up with these recipes and I often look for substitutions. I came across this chart and thought I would cross-post it and make some of my own adjustments for future reference. It is a useful source of information and would be a shame to get lost in the archives of the internet over time.
