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.

Wyeast 1272 American Ale II™
Wyeast 1272 American Ale II™
Fruitier and more flocculant than 1056, slightly nutty, soft, clean, slightly tart finish.
Notes
Mash in with 6 gallons strike water. Recirculate at 156F for 15 minutes. Run off wort and do not sparge. Top up boil kettle with water to reach desired pre-boil volume and gravity. Boil 90 minutes. Ferment at 66F. *Note: I experimented with toasting some 2-row in my oven at 350F for 5 minutes. It came out very close to Victory malt so I tossed in 4 oz. of home toasted 2-row in place of 4 oz. of Victory. Also: The American Chocolate Malt is actually Pale Chocolate (200L).

Everything went well. Pitched about 1.5 cups of thick yeast harvested from a previous batch (Blonde Ale). OG = 1.055 #70

This batch turned out pretty tasty and I'm generally happy with it. But, it still feels like it's lacking something. I find myself just wishing it was a more flavorful version of what it currently is. All the flavors are nice and there is nothing unpleasant about it, but if they were a little more vibrant it would be better. I do have to say that putting age on this beer improves it a lot.
