Donal, do the malts (either Neals or Weyermanns) come in the original bags with the manufacturer's color statistics still on the label?
(I've had problems in the past with malt bags that have been split up and have had their own stickers put on them and the statistical information (mainly malt color) gets written down incorrectly and I end up with malts that are CLEARLY and CONSIDERABLY visibly darker, while their sticker claims that they're of a lighter color than another malt.)
-It makes it very hard for someone to estimate the actual final color of the beer this way.
It's also important to me to know what maltster each grain is coming from so it's nice to have this information; many of the beer tools can give you a more accurate color and fermentability information if the malster is known. (Great to see you calling this out.)
