Use it as all or most of the grain bill, adding crystal or roasted malts for colour and flavour. Crisp recommends it for milds, English ales, IPAs, stouts, porters, barley wines and golden ales.

Classic partners are English hops such as Fuggles or Challenger and an ale yeast like Safale S-04. For paler beers, see Crisp Crushed Maris Otter Extra Pale 25kg.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the malt crushed?

Yes, it is supplied crushed, ready to go straight into your mash tun.

Can I brew with 100% Maris Otter?

Yes. Crisp rates it for up to 100% of the grist, and many single-malt British ales use only Maris Otter.

What colour is Maris Otter ale malt?

Crisp's typical specification is 5.5-7.2 EBC, a little darker than lager malts.

How should I store it?

Keep the sack sealed in a cool, dry place away from pests. Crushed malt goes stale faster than whole grain, so use it promptly.
