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.

Not a bad brew

I made this with a friend on his first solo brew, I just oversaw it. It turned out quite well. Nice and rich, and not far off the old style hobgoblin. Just a tip - Don't drink 3 pints in an hour then go to the pub and have 4 pints of real ale. It turns your brain to mush...
