muntons maris otter

[slurp the apprentice]

Went to charles faram last week and picked up 50kg of muntons maris otter £16.90 per 25kg.I wondered if anyone else have tried muntons grain i was given a choice of two different suppliers of MO [nope cant remember the second choice ]and would be interested of anyones experience with this brand.

Good grain, Converts well, clears OK, What more can you say?

I'm sure I had a 25kg sack a year or two ago - it seemed fine to me!

[Bryggmester]

I use sacks of Muntons, no problems at all.

Good to hear the new local homebrew store stocks Muntons grains. I have never tried them before.

thanks nice to know theres been good experiences with this grain i was surprised charles faram had two different brands of MO perhaps it isn't so surprising its just how they do business they couldnot tell me any advantage from one over the other

Warminster is the other that Faram supply.

You've saved me the trouble of asking them if their prices have gone up...they have, about £4 per 25kg

I've used Muntons but the beers are still in the corny maturing

The benefit of the Warminster is that it is floor malted instead of drum malted. Floor malting produces a much more consistent malt IME (I know you'd expect it to be the other way round).

Warminster are also happy to provide the malt analysis for the malt you buy (lot number on the bag), Muntons only provide 'average' numbers.

I'm not sure that either of the 'benefits' mentioned here are of particular importance to a homebrew length, but once you start putting 75Kg into a Mash tun its a whole new ball game
