DreamWeaver's Golden Ale Beer

One of my favorites. This one can be made a Cali Steam Beer by using lager yeast at ale temps or a true lager at lager temps.

Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
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.
