Hello All!
I’ve fallen in love with all things smoked these days and I’ve made a
couple smoked beers. The last was a Rye and I tried my hand at smoking
my own malt again. The first time was not enough to make a difference
and the second was WAY over the top. The last Rye tasted like pork butt
in a bottle. Great for pairing with meats but not an every day beer.
Please give me your thoughts on this recipe. I want to smoke another
batch of pork, chicken, and what ever else isn’t nailed down and through
on a couple lbs of grain as before. I think I’ll back off the 2 hours I
did last time. Note the recipe has 2 adds for Maris Otter. 2nd for
smoking and will be a darker SRM. I want a rich, snappy beer with a
balance and smoke throughout but not ‘in your face’. I’ll use nugget as
bittering to impart some herbal/ earthy spice and the centennial for
some aroma and pine.
Any comments are surely welcomed.
