So, I ordered some grain last week. I just picked it up today, it turned out to be Maris Otter, after I got it home and started distributing it into my buckets. I normally get just 2-row pale ale malt from them. I paid the same price for the M.O. Anything I need to adjust for my recipes? Isn’t M.O. usually more than two row?
Btw it’s Crisp Malting.
I pay quite a bit more for my MO than for my other malts. Personally I would use it as if it were 2 row pale, unless it’s for competition.
Maris Otter is a 2 row malt, FWIW. Crisp is a very good floor malted 2-row MO. Try a batch of english bitter with 100% MO and some EKGs. for American pales and IPAs you may want to cut the malt in half with some pils or plain 2-row bcause the malt character can be very pronounced
If you paid basic 2-row price for the MO, you got a deal. Even at my wholesale prices, MO is 40% more than domestic 2-row. And it’s the base malt for my American Amber. It does make a difference. A positive difference.

I love to use MO. It add a bit of a nutty flavor to English recipes. Usually a lot more expensive. You got a deal.

Crisp Maris Otter is a great MO.
Do happy dance, and start making English Bitters and Scottish ales. 8)
Nice score!
