Marris otter recipes?

[dcarter]

I recently picked up a 55 lb sack of marris otter from my friends at Lazy Magnolia brewing company in Kiln Ms. Does anyone have a good brown ale recipe that I can try with my new find? Thanks in advance!

Try 7lbs Maris and .5 or 1lb of a lighter crystal and some fuggles... I love using maris.

Thanks brewpilot, I was thinking of maybe lighter crystal (30-37 L) or a caramel malt at maybe .5 lbs or 1 lb for a try. I like the fuggles followed by cascade for aroma
, what do you think?

 

[Brewpilot]

Sounds great, and Id probably use some nottingham... maybe throw in some vienna for some maltyness as well?? .5lbs light crystal and .5 vienna or munich...

 

[dcarter]

This sounds good:

7 lbs marris otter
.5 lbs 30 L caramel
.5 lbs vienna

fuggles 60 min
cascade 2 min

mmmm I can hardly wait

I use it alot in place of standard 2-row. Supposedly it's extremely close to Golden Promise, which is hard to come by. Sub for 2-row in any recipe that looks good. The slightly nutty flavor goes well with English hops IMO. I like to toast .25lb of it for hoppy american ales.

How about an American Brown:
9lb Maris Otter
1lb 120L Crystal
.5lb Honey malt
.25lb Chocolate malt

1oz Northern Brewer @60 min
2oz Cascade @5 min
1oz Cascade Dry-Hopped

Cal Ale yeast (1056/WLP001)

Captwilliard, what would you think the og be on that recipe?

 

[Brewpilot]

Dcarter... your recipe should be about 1.045 with 77% eff.

 

[Captain Willard]

1.050 at 70% efficiency. Should come out to a FG of 1.012 and ~5.1% ABV

 

[dcarter]

Yeah, i figured mine at around 1050 but capt williard might shave a little something more. Maybe around 1060 1065 or so?

Home of the one and only

Not to kill the thread.....so, you can really brew ANYTHING with Marris Otter. It is just a version of 2 row pale. It makes great English beers.

Yah, let me see... I used maris in my raspberry ale... and I just used it in my oatmeal stout too!

 

[dcarter]

The brewery is right around the corner from the home of the legendary Southern Miss quarterback Brett Favre. I think he went on to do something else also but it escapes me at the moment. Lazy Magnolia on the other hand is Mississippis first and only legal brewery which makes the world reknown southern pecan brown ale. Winner of a bronze medal at the world beer cup.

Where did you get your Maris... locally or mail order? That is something Id have 50# of for sure... that and some Weyermans wheat... mmmmmmmm

 

[dcarter]

I picked it up from Lazy magnolia.

Hob goblin is a classic with Marris Otter.
So are any UK bitters, browns and pales.

It's a terrific base malt.
