sub for Biscuit

[Fritz Eye]

Looking to do Jamil's Belgian Pale Ale that requires 1/4 lb of Biscuit.

Anything close that I could sub for or should I suck it up and order from B3/Northern Brewer?
Cheers.

+1 on the Victory. I'd think you'd be hardpressed to tell the difference at 1/4 lb without doing a side by side.

IMO, biscuit is pretty unique. Victory somewhat similar, but not a direct sub. To my palate, biscuit has more of a light saltine cracker breadiness to it, where as Victory seems to have a more pronounced toastiness. I use biscuit quite frequently in a lot of my lighter Belgian-style beers. I doubt Victory would play out the same way in the finished product.

I thought Justin already had a sub for Biscuit. Name's Walker!

im not disagreeing with you but in this particular case I gotta say,
at a quarter pound?
I think it will be very close. not too mention totally unnecessary for style. I wouldn't recommend special ordering anything.
perhaps a sub of 20% of your base malt for an english floor malted malt like marris otter or optic/ golden promise will add the right malt notes.
