    An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

Notes

Just a basic guideline. Lot's of wild ingedients which were not measured including: peaches, apples, concord grapes, rhubarb, mint, pepper grass, juniper berries, yarrow. Hops were wet. Columbus hops were homegrown + 2 varieties of wild hops that I have no idea what they were or how much was used.
