    Maris Otter and Pilsner

    Feel like a proper home brewer, after years of going recipe to recipe buying all bits at the local HBS, I finally bought 25kg pilsner, and 25kg Maris Otter. I’m thinking of buying a 25kg of wheat – as I’m into Hefeweizen at the moment; but due to bulk buy realities I went for the pils and MO...
