Not really, the idea is that I take my Dunkel recipe and brew it using English malts, hops, and yeast.

Other than gravity, how would your British Dunkel vary from a dark mild or possibly Northern English Brown?

Mild typically has lots of caramel/roast and NEB has a decent amount of hop character. My English Dunkel would probably look something like:

OG: 1.055
FG: 1.015
90% Maris Otter
5% Blackprinz
5% Melanoidin

20 IBU EKG @ 60 min
WLP002

Single infusion mash, batch sparge.

Maris otter is a varietal. Typically sold malted/kikned as a pale ale, but no reason I see it couldn't be kilned lighter like a pils malt or us2-row.

Brewers tend to use maris otter as a shorthand for "maris otter kilned as pale ale malt", and I'm suuuuuuupper curious how much of the character is the malt/kiln profile, vs the actual barley varietal.

Yeah, I guess more appropriately I'd use English Pale Ale malt, doesn't matter if it's Marris Otter, per se.

Ray, a comparison between two SMaSH beers, one with Maris Otter extra pale and a similarly colored malt like brewers 2-row would be super interesting.

I haven't been able to find it cheap anywhere.

Label peelers has the muntons version, but crisp has one too. You could probably order it from any supplier that can get LD Carlson or Crisp products.

With Muntons, ask what the blend balance is. Their standard Pale malt version has more non-MO than as with other maltsers.
