Maris Otter Malt- Crisp

Crisp Maris Otter (per pound). The only winter barley approved for use by the Brewers Institute. Whole or freshly crushed. Please specify at checkout. Degree lovibond is about 3.

Crisp is one of the largest buyers of Maris Otter barley and some of their barley farmers have been growing it since its first crop in 1965. The mother field, where all certified Maris Otter seed comes from, is located in North Norfolk, just a short tractor drive from the Crisp Great Ryburgh maltings. Praised by home and commercial brewers for its depth of flavor, it has also found homes in malt driven whiskies in both the UK, Europe and in the emerging American single malt category.

Like the other heritage grains, this variety is floor malted and gently kilned over three days in our natural draft kiln, giving a deeper flavour than the conventionally kilned Maris Otter.
