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.

Notes
Best-ever efficiency. The new mash tun with SS briad looks like a winner. (Also ran the grain through the mill twice.) I'm fermenting with US-56, which isn't included here.

Discussion
Nice drop

Just sampling the first bottles of this one. Very nice indeed. I collected the wort in a plastic cube. My last hops were put into a stocking and dropped into the hot wort. This has worked well, with heaps of aroma in the beer. (Less intense than dry-hopping, but without some of the harsh flavours I've had with that method.)
