Maris Otter vs Briess 2-Row

[lyacovett]

OK, I know this general question has been asked and covered already. I know the basic differences between American 2-Row and Maris Otter.

My question is this though. I can get Munton's Maris Otter for $40 a sack and Briess 2-row for $35 a sack.

The question .... is it worth the $5 savings??

Where are you shopping??? Those are some good prices....for that price buy a bag of each

For those prices I would buy a bag of each. From my understanding they are used for different styles but mostly interchangeable.

It depends what you are brewing. If you want to brew English Ales or maltier American styles the Maris Otter is the perfect choice. If you brew mostly hoppy stuff, or beers with loads of specialty malts (big stouts etc&#8230 the American stuff will make just as good if not better beers. I tend to keep sacks of each around along with a sack of pils, it doesn’t take many batches to go through a sack.

Oldsock has it nailed.
