How to use
Mash as you would standard Maris Otter. Because it is much paler (standard Maris Otter is 5.5-7.2 EBC), it lets hop character and a light colour come through in blondes and pale ales.
Try it with bright hops such as Cascade and a clean yeast like Safale US-05. For darker British ales, choose standard Crisp Crushed Maris Otter 25kg.
