I absolutely LOVE marris otter, and most recently I started brewing alot of lagers. The last one i used was the WL German Lager strain. I noticed that this strain really makes a good clean lager at around 48 degrees. My question, has anyone any combined the two in recipe before? I'm sure marris otter would make an excellent single malt lager. I'd really love to try this at about 1.050 - 1.055 SG.

Edit: I would like to balence the hops but mostly let the marris otter shine through. Was thinking 20-25 ibus using magnum.

I've not heard of anyone doing this, but it sounds like it might be pretty good. Definitely worthy of trying, IMO.

Great idea. I'm sure it's been done before, somewhere out there. It's certainly not common though.

I think so too. I believe it really shows your "prowess" as a brewer as there is NOTHING to hide behind when brewing a single malt lager. I actually have a yeast cake of WL German Lager that I just used for a single malt pilsner and thats where I got the idea. I think the marris otter would be better than pilsner malt though.

I never even thought about EKG. excellent idea would be like an english ale without the classic fruitiness. lets the malt and hops take front stage without interference from the yeast.

It would be really interesting to brew this as a bopils, with soft water, bopils yeast and fermentation and enter it into some competitions as a bopils. I bet it would do well if its brewed well.

Time for me to bring up another old topic.

As many of you know, I recently came into a bulk of Marris Otter. I also received two vials of Lager yeast WLP838 & WLP802.

I want to go with a single malt, or maybe 80-90% MO with another 20% being only a single other grain. I'm guessing the WLP838 might be the yeast to use. I'm also not set on the hop to use either (wanting to use a single hop if possible too).

Have any of you attempted a brew with only MO?

(I realize how vague this post is and there are a bazillion factors into building a recipe, just getting a feeler since this topic had been discussed several years ago)
