Crisp No. 19 Floor-Malted Maris Otter® Malt

Taste & Character

Crisp No. 19 Floor-Malted Maris Otter® Malt is crafted using traditional floor-malting techniques that preserve the heritage of this iconic barley variety. With a color range of 2.5–3.5°L, it delivers the hallmark Maris Otter flavor profile—rich, nutty, and biscuity—while providing a warm golden hue and a robust malt backbone.

Where It Shines

This malt is ideally suited for brewing classic British styles such as Bitters, Porters, and Stouts, where its depth and complexity define the beer’s character. It also adds authenticity to heritage-inspired recipes.

Role in the Brewhouse

As a traditional floor-malted base malt, No. 19 offers excellent extract potential and balanced enzymatic activity, making it versatile enough to serve as 100% of the grist. The floor-malting process imparts a unique texture and consistency that modern methods cannot replicate.

Brewer’s Guidance

Use as a sole base malt for authentic English ales or pair with crystal and roasted malts to add further layers of flavor. Its deep, nutty character makes it a brewer’s favorite for creating beers with genuine tradition and complexity.
