Anyone have any experience with using this malt? I might give it a go in a hoppy Pale ale or West Coast IPA.
Chevalier Malt

no experience with it. I might try it on a belgian single or a tripel? Crisps website recommends English ipa or english ale?
interesting, they list it as a base malt. I wonder what it costs per lb...
im not sure that i would run it at 100% as it doesnt have a great DP. i would blend it with 2R and obviously Voss(jk)
@Josh Hughes is the only one I know who's used it
Looks like it is readily available in the States - cheapest I found was $2.99/lb at Hopcraft Supply. Looks like an interesting malt - since most of my brewing is lower (less than 6%) alcohol and generally on the English Ale styles, it could add interesting malty flavor!

Have you tried Ashburne Malt? It's good for English style beers.
I love Chevalier Used it for probably 5 brews or so. Maris otter on steroids for sure. Perfect by itself as it adds some sweetness a crystal malt might.
And love it
Yes I have - my wife likes mild ales, so Ashburne is the go-to for that, and I just brewed a Best Bitter with a couple of pounds of Ashburne in it - gives good body and mouth-feel - I like it!

What did you brew with it? I think I'll order some and do a OTCB experiment.

$2.99lb? Yikes!
I would like to hear how that one comes out though.
I just looked up Otter, and it was only $1.76 at the HB store.

There are no HB stores within 40 miles of me so online ordering is my go to.
They probably don’t use real otters in that. Maybe sea lions or something…
Nothing but fresh caught atlantic puffins
I’ve brewed Bitters and Milds with it. I used 100% with a mix of British hops and it turned out great. In the mild it was less obvious I didn’t use marris otter. I’ve made bitters using this malt and 5-8% crystal and liked that too.
