If you need a well modified, high performing malt with a low colour, then Low Colour Maris Otter is the perfect choice. This heritage barley variety is used to produce an exceptional quality base malt, with a high extract and enzymic activity and low nitrogen content. Low Colour Maris Otter is kilned at a low temperature, making it perfect for Cask IPAs and Light Coloured Ales.
“We’ve used Low Colour Maris Otter as our base malt for more than ten years at Thornbridge. It gives our beer the required depth and structure needed in every one of our beers and, with its reliably low nitrogen, excellent extract and rich malty sweetness, we are happy to pay a premium for this classic heritage variety.”
