Hi all,

Has anyone got a link to anywhere that explains what each type of grain adds/gives to a brew please?

Thanks guys,

Everything (almost) that i need.

How do you decide how much of each to add to a brew though?

On the side of my link is "max in batch" that is the maximum amount in % to use in a batch.
Other than that it's down to your knowledge of the flavours themselves, look at other recipes and see the quantities used by other people and the outcomes etc...
