Maris Otter® Low Colour Malt - 1kg

Maris Otter Low Colour Malt is Thomas Fawcett's Maris Otter, traditionally malted and then kilned at lower temperatures. You get the rich Maris Otter flavour with a lighter colour, which suits golden ales and paler beers.

Why brewers choose it

• Classic Maris Otter depth and sweetness
• A paler colour than standard Maris Otter
• Low in protein, ideal for single-temperature infusion mashing
• Strong enzyme content, so it converts itself and any speciality malts

Specifications

• Maltster: Thomas Fawcett & Sons, Castleford

• Colour: 3.0-5.0 EBC (1.6-2.2 °L), maltster's typical analysis

How to use it

Use it as your base malt in a single-infusion mash; add a little pale crystal or caramalt for extra body if you want it.

All-grain brewers making golden and blonde ales, pale ales, bitters, IPAs and lighter lagers who want British malt character without the colour.
