Maris Otter is the classic British heritage base malt, prized for its rich, biscuity, slightly nutty malt character and clean finish. With excellent diastatic power it converts easily in a single-infusion mash and can form up to 100% of the grain bill.
- Flavour: rich, biscuity, nutty, clean
- Colour: pale gold (approx. 2.5-4°L)
- Typical use: up to 100% of the grain bill
- Great in: bitters, pale ales, IPAs, porters, ESBs and barleywines
Pairs beautifully with crystal and caramel malts for added depth.
