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.

This came out better than I could have hoped. Better than the Original bottled Bitter and twisted. I highly recommend this recipe! I'm going to brew this with a tweak or two, but nothing serious.
