I do occasionally have MO and GP in the brewery. If I have it, I save it for English styles. But I'm not likely to buy a sack of it. I'm more likely to buy a sack of Rahr Pale Ale malt or another Pale Ale malt which has a bit more character and depth than your standard 2-row. I did have about 20-25 lbs of both MO and GP last year and it was great in the bitters and pale ales I made.Ken do you not like the flavor of Maris Otter? Im not sure I can ever recall you using it in any of the recipies you have posted over the years.
This was a $5 pound of Nugget pellets that I got from YCH or YVH. I have used them later in the boil and the character is very nice... someone else mentioned liking them late as well. Here, I'm using them to boost the late-hop character and to hold hands with the Glacier which is a great, underused and underappreciated US hop variety, IMO. I'm envisioning the Nugget + Nugget + Glacier + EKG (DH) combo to work well together in an amber ale made with 1469.I'm down with the Nuggets and curious how you like them. I have a bag and consider it as a bittering hop. Do you like what it does later in the boil?

Got it. I must have missed those recipes.

I don't necessarily think that a "pale ale malt" is going to be just like MO or GP... it might be somewhere between standard 2-row and MO/GP. I don't know enough about this Swaen Pale Ale malt yet to know how it would be for English styles which is why I want to make a simple blonde ale with it where the vast majority of the grist is Swaen Pale Ale. From there I can determine how best to use it.Got it. I must have missed those recipes.
