So I have some questions, go figure. I ordered a 55# sack of Crisp Maris otter(my first foray into Maris Otter) from my LHBS. I just picked it up and am confused. I see a lot of great comments on this forum about this malt and I want to make sure that I got the real deal. I ordered Crisp Maris Otter, the sack I just picked up says "Gleneagles Maris Otter" and has a batch info sticker on it that does reference CrispMalt.com for any questions. The sticker on the bag does have a batch number on it which I assume I could reference for malt analysis, but I cannot figure out where to go for that. I will attach a photo shortly.
When I visit crispmalt.com, I see no place to enter a batch number, but I can find a downloadable pdf of a "Typical Analysis and Product Description," will this be close enough?
This typical analysis is for Finest Maris Otter Ale malt, rather than the Extra Pale Maris Otter Malt that is also listed. If I did not specify, would I likely have been shipped the "Finest?"
This sack is going into a SMASH bitter, re-pitch into "The Queen's Diamonds" from Experimental Homebrewing, and also into Jamil's Evil Twin.
Another question, is all MO floor malted? What does floor malting ring to the table.
I know there are a lot of questions here, but anything anyone can tell me would help set my mind at ease. I have no fears of being "Hoodwinked " by my LHBS, just that maybe I did not order correctly, not knowing all the specifics
