Excellent all round ale malt - generally our british ale malt of choice in the brewery.

cheers Ross

I second that.

I use it in a best bitter. Tasty beer

My fave base malt.

Can be used for APA, AIPA, ESB, Standard Bitter, low abv English Pale Ale (with Willamette and 3.5% - excellent beer).

Plays well with:

Anything crystal
Rye/Caramel Rye
Wheat/Red Wheat
Cara-justaboutanything

It seems to (and this is purely from experience, rather than a theoretically based dissertation) have excellent diastatic power for getting the most sugaz from spec malts.

Look for any of my APA on the recipedb, all of them use it as a base - and there are feedbacks from others who've used the recipe.

And with Ross selling 5kg of it at 3.50 per kg, I'm never unhappy.

Also agree with all comments above. It makes it in as my base malt in my Pommy and Yank beers. Go nuts!
