… I would attempt a few different lager and ale styles utilizing Briess Ashburne Mild as my sole base malt. But then I discovered that not one of the three LHBS closest to me carries it. Is it worth going after this base malt via mail order (online order…)?
Yes, if you want your dream to come true.
Yes order some of this malt. I ordered some from Northern Brewer and this will be my first time using this malt. I am brewing a British Wheaty Brown Ale with it today. I tweaked the recipe from Michael Dawson’s - Mash Makers recipe book. Using Wyeast 1469 for this beer.
