Same favorites for me, for the same reason. But for Maris Otter, I actually prefer Crisp over Simpson's. My LHBS carries Simpsons but will special order Crisp if I ask them to. Maybe next time.

that's good to know. I'm waiting to order some MO with my next order

Well I just ordered some 20lb Crisp Maris Otter from Howdy Brewer for $1.45/lb
Got free shipping because I already placed another order last week for grains. To late to add it to the order but they gave me free shipping anyway.

For German Pilsner, Munich and Vienna I Use Weyerman.

For English, I don’t have a favorite Maris Otter really. Fawcett for crystal.

Not made a beer with American domestic base malt in quite a while. Only American malt is probably a flaked barley and maybe some 2 row they was left over and just added since I was low on a base malt.

Just looked back at my last couple times I brewed with English Maris Otter Malt
I've used Fawcett, Crisp floor malted, Baird, and Simpson

 

[Brew Cat]

actually the Fawcett was Golden Promise

I brew a lot of British ales and my last two grain buys were Crisp #19 floor malted maris otter.

 

[Brew Cat]

the Fawcett haven't been able to get
The last Maris otter I used was the Crisp FM and liked it yesterday I ordered the Crisp English Finest MO. I guess I'll source the others and do back to back to back and see if I can narrow it down.
My favorite pilsner malt after my study last season was the Bohemian Pilsner from Weyerman

I haven't tried floor malted yet. How does Crisp's MO compare to their floor malted MO? Is it noticeably better?

 

[Brew Cat]

From what I've heard any Floor malted grains are slightly under modified. The floor malted pilsner I did decoction but I didn't do it with the FM MO

 

[Brew Cat]

I put my order in mid day Thursday showed up mid day Tuesday from Texas
Shout out to Howy Brewing
Ask for Eric drop my name

I use Briess the most (locally to Wisconsin) but when I do some beers (like my Surly Furious clone), I use Simpsons’ Golden Promise. I love that malt!

If any of you are in Northern California... go visit Admiral Maltings in Alameda (SF Bay Area). 100% Floor malted... 95%+ California grown (a couple batches a year grown in Oregon or Washington). I was a maltster their for 3+ years... shoveled 20-30 tons of grain every week. Great product... very flavorful... expensive (being honest). Some folks like using it for 100% of the grist but many folks blend it in with their Rahr or other cheaper base malt. Free tours every Sunday at 3pm... they have a pub open 7 days a week serving 20 beers on draft made with their malt. They also sell malt by the pound or 55lb sack to home brewers.

That is pretty cool!

I see footprints in the malt.

Is it better if they wear shoes or if they go barefoot?
