Warminster Maris Otter 1.9L Malt 55 lb Crushed

With a color rating of 1.9° Lovibond, Warminster Maris Otter 1.9L Malt produces a light golden color and contributes delicate flavors of fresh baked bread, biscuit, light honey, and subtle nutty sweetness. The lower kilning level allows more of the barley's natural character to shine through, creating a cleaner malt profile than Warminster's 3L Maris Otter while still providing the depth and complexity that have made Maris Otter a favorite among brewers worldwide.

This premium base malt is ideal for English Pale Ales, Golden Ales, Bitters, Blonde Ales, IPAs, and modern craft beer styles where brewers want authentic British malt character without the additional color and toastiness of darker pale malts. Its balanced flavor profile provides a smooth foundation that supports both hop-forward and malt-forward recipes.

Typical usage ranges from 60% - 100% of the grain bill and it performs exceptionally well as a standalone base malt. During mashing, it offers excellent extract potential and reliable enzymatic power for efficient starch conversion while contributing a refined malt backbone and excellent drinkability.

Warminster Maris Otter 1.9L Malt delivers the signature quality, flavor, and brewing performance associated with traditional floor malted Maris Otter, making it an outstanding choice for brewers seeking authentic English character with a lighter color and cleaner malt expression than the richer 3L version.
