I have to ask - what does SMaSH stand for?
I can say that I used to use MO inplace of american 2 row in all my recipes until I discovered Golden Promise. I have a house SMaSH that I keep on that is Golden Promise and Cascade all I can say is that it is like enjoying a good single malt Scotch with carbonation.. Absolutely fantastic..
So is MO the same as British Pale Ale malt??
It's one kind of British Pale Ale malt, but there are others as well, such as Pearl, Optic, etc. My understanding (which could be wrong) is that MO is a specific variety of barley, and Brit Pale Ale malt can be kilned from a number of different varieties, including MO.
So is all MO "British Pale Ale" malt?? I have some recipes that call for British Pale Ale...I have been using American Pale, should I be using MO?
Marris Otter is a cultivar. I believe Simpsons (and other English manufacturers) crystal malts are made from Marris Otter so, no, not all Marris Otter is made into pale ale malt.
When people casually say "Marris otter" they mean pale malt made from Marris Otter.
