Ok, I see what's going on. Whorst just typed the substitute next to the Special B rather the the biscuit in his recipie and I misinterpreted what he was trying to tell me, sorry.
I have read that some folks don't like using Special B because along with the plumb/current flavor, you also get significant roasty flavors as it is a very dark crystal. How dark does crystal malt need to be to get the plumb/current thing going yet avoid the undesirable roast aspect to the taste?
Whorst is also using Honey malt which might add a real neat taste to the brew, does anybody have any experience with that malt? What taste would you expect it to add to the mix?
