Canadian vs American 2 Row

Post by mstead » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:53 am

Most recipes I try out seem to always want American 2 row, and around here I can only get Canadian 2 row, so that's what I've been using.

What's the difference between them? Anything?

While there may be some technical difference, Canadian and American malting companies seem to source their grain from either side of the border, so your "Canadian 2-row" could be American, anyway.
Currently on tap: Nothing!
In keg: Still nothing.
In Primary: Doggone American Rye Pale Ale

Also, there's likely to be different SRM, extract %, moisture content, etc. from different maltsters, even those from the same country.
