Ah, that makes sense. Thank you for the useful information. Much appreciated.

Awesome ! Thank for the quick replies, I will give it a shot and see what happens !

I read (somewhere that I do not recall at present time) that Maris Otter has enough enzymatic converting ability for itself. So if I wanted to use it as a base malt in a partial mash should I use twice as much Maris Otter compared to say 2-row as a base malt? Thanks in advance.
