Anyone used this as a base? Would it be good for American Ales/ IPAs?

Weyermanns do a pale malt which would be a good base for APA/IPAs but Maria otter will do the job just as well.

Yeah I've a 25g bag of crushed pils malt and its great as a 2 row replacement. However 25g is a lot if you're doing 5 gallon batches. Getting it pre-crushed means it'll lose flavour over time. Unless you are going to do a lot of batches in a reasonably short space of time you might want to buy less. I definitely regret buying such a big bag of pre-crushed.

I really do like working with pils malt as my base for ales though. Its just a touch lighter than UK/Irish pale malt and I find that suits American styles pretty well.
