I'm getting setup for my first all grain brew and I need a bit of help with the ingredients. I'm a fan of amber beers so I think I'm going to use this one.
http://nbcba.org/forum/10-american-ale/evil-twin/If I get the specialty grains through the grain order, should I substitute for the more 'popular' version? I'm not familiar with the equivalents/substitutions but here is what I've figured out, let me know if there are better options.
Maris Otter = Same
Pale Malt (2 Row) = Same
Munich II (Weyermann) = Same
Cara 40 (MaltBroue) = Caramunich 2 (Weyermann)
Cara 120 (MaltBroue) = Caraaroma (Weyermann)
Melanoidin (Weyermann) = Amber Roasted Malt (Muntons)
Carafa I (Weyermann) = Light Chocolate (Muntons)
For hops, I assume I can gather those from anywhere online? This recipe uses Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial which seem to be fairly popular so I should get at least a couple extra ounces?
