I'm new to brewing,, I've brewed a few extra kits and am wanting to try BIAB. Looking for info on what malts to use for different styles of beer. I really don't have a clue which malts to use. Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah, all grain kits are probably the easiest step up from extract kits. You can also just check out the recipe threads on this site or just google "clone recipe" for your favorite craft beer. Don't just brew the first hit though - look at several and find a consensus. Also, consider starting with something simple like a SMASH (Single Malt And Single Hop).you can click on NB's kit's recipes and read the pdf files

This. Brewing Classic Styles is a great book, and it will help you make good beer.Check out a recipe book. "Brewing Classic Styles" is a great one. In each style there is some discussion of the malts/hops used and why. "Designing Great Beers" is another good one, more focused on how to design a beer then on recipes. I liked the styles book and following recipes first as it gave me a chance to experiment with different malts and learn which ones I liked best for different beers.
Even within a certain grain there are many variations of malts and each of them may bring a little difference to the beers.
Cheers, have fun.
Yeah, I say this to a customer in my shop about once a week. "If you brew any of the recipes in BCS and the beer doesn't turn out decent, it's not the recipe"This. Brewing Classic Styles is a great book, and it will help you make good beer.
