Is Maris Otter worth it?

My homebrew club did a Malt Tea(mashed at 150 for 30 min) tasting last week and it is amazing the difference between domestic 2 row, domestic 6 row and the British (MO and GP) malts. You will not be disappointed with the MO. I would recommend doing a malt tea tasting as a club presentation or on your own to see the difference between malts that you will use as a base to get a better understanding of what you are starting with. for yourself all you need is to crush 4 oz and mash for 30 minutes or so. For a group of 15 we used 8 ounces per malt with 8 different malts. Very informative.

very cool idea that would might be fun to do at a meeting. did you guys cool it down or drink hot?
wilypig:
It had cooled to room temp by the time we got around to drinking it.
yeastmaster:
I mostly use Maris Otter and love it. I just did some Belgians with Weyerman pale and really can't complain about that malt either!
