I love the Weyermann floor malted bo-pils. Perhaps confirmation bias, but I have loved the maltiness from every beer I've done with it.
That said, I love Weyemann malts, period.

> He asked if you could sub out one of the grains in a classic German O-fest for something like Maris Otter
Look at Pattinson's writings on Anton Dreher. He was heavily influenced by British processes. Vienna malt was basically his interpretation of British Pale Ale malt, but he made lager because that's what was popular in Vienna.
If you want ridiculous maltiness, add wort from specialty malt to the finished product and pasteurize.Look at Pattinson's writings on Anton Dreher. He was heavily influenced by British processes.

Right, but I haven't found a Vienna that's as robust in flavor as Maris Otter. That was the point of the recipe. It's a basic O-fest (1/3 pils, 1/3 Vienna, 1/3 Munich) with the most flavorful variants I could find of each.
I get what you're saying about the specialty steep, but wouldn't that leave it a touch sweet or are you proposing to compensate for that sweetness in how you mash and adding a few IBUs?

>> Just drop one of those small submersible chinese solar pumps in the young beer and switch it with a timer.
They are foodsafe. www.solarproject.co.uk/page2.html

Oh those things. They aren't submersible, but yeah, that would work and be fairly cheap. I thought you meant like a submersible aquarium pump or something. That's madness.

So why not make a maris otter lager? I'm about to do a 100% vienna lager. Interested to see. I've done 100% maris otter so it will be interesting to see if it's more or less intense.
Ingoogni linked elsewhere to a pilsner colored "extra pale maris otter" that piqued my interest as well.Posted 34 days ago.
Maris Otter lager?
I could totally get behind this.
Heh... 100% Maris Otter Vienna, anyone?

I've actually been percolating an idea of "what if another brew tradition made the other's traditional beer?" series, e.g. English Dunkel or German bitter. Seems like it would be a fun little experiment.

When traditions collide...

Isn't it just called an American style when you bastardize a traditional style ;)

I was just thinking that thats basically what America is, isnt it?
