Is Maris Otter worth it?

<< < (2/8) > >>

beerocd:
Just reiterating Maris Otter rocks, and I get mine from MidCountry Malt.

I think the price difference for me is around .92/lb for 2 row American and .98/lb for Marris Otter.  I don't bother with 2 row American pale malt any more.

pdbreen:
Same answer as the others - only using Marris Otter.  Picked up 3 sacks yesterday from North Country Malt @ $40/sack.  Works out to about 0.73/lb.

+1 - and this isn't one of those superstition things.  there is a significantly different type of maltiness with MO vs. 2 row pale.


--- Quote ---I don't know where you are, but $75 plus shipping seems a little high.  North Country Malt has Thomas Fawcett MO for about $40 uncrushed 50# sack.  I thnk shipping brings it up to around $60-$65.

+1 - I live in South Florida, perhaps as far away from any of the distribution sites as you can be (mine comes from Champaign, NY) and it costs $66-$70 depending on FedEx at the time to get a sack of MO.

IIRC, you live in Missouri, I would think that would be close enough to the Midwest branch to be at least as cheap.

+10...There's no substitute.
