Thomas Fawcett | Maris Otter Malt | per lb

Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt is a premium British base malt made from the legendary Maris Otter barley variety and traditionally floor malted by Thomas Fawcett & Sons in England. Prized by British and craft brewers for its distinctive flavor, Maris Otter provides a richer malt character than a typical American 2-Row or lighter Pilsner malt.

At approximately 2.3–3.3° Lovibond, Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter produces a warm golden wort with a distinctive rich, sweet malt character and notes of toffee. Its flavorful malt backbone makes it especially well suited to beers where the grain should contribute noticeable character rather than simply provide fermentable sugars.

Maris Otter is a well-modified base malt with excellent extract and is ideally suited to traditional single-temperature infusion mashing. Its relatively low protein content also makes it particularly well suited to classic English ale brewing.
