Anyone have a good AG recipe? For some reason, I'm wanting a smoked beer really badly. Maybe it because I just quit smoking. Plus, I think it'd be a great autumn beer.

Anyone got a good recipe? I'm not wanting anything as extreme as a rauchbeer, but would like some smoky character. I've had Stone's smoke porter, and didn't find it smoky at all.

Might not be exactly what you're looking for, but I recently brewed a keg of a basic brown ale for a party that I flavored with chipotles in the secondary. I used the actual dried ones, not the canned ones in adobo, and put ~24 in the secondary. After 3 days I sampled and was concerned that the chipotles were going to overwhelm my beer so I siphoned to keg where it sat for ~2 weeks. The end result was not a chile-esque beer at all, but rather a smoky brown ale.

That sounds nice, too! I'll probably save the chipotle beer for an entirely diferent batch, though.

Sam,

In the September, 2005 issue of BYO on page 56, there is an AG recipe for Alaskan Smoked Porter clone from Alaskan Brewing that looks awfully good. I've been eyeing it myself! Unfortunately, it is not posted on the BYO website yet. It requires smoking 1 lb. of Munich malt with alder wood.

I'd totally forgotten about that! Thanks. I was just sitting here putting together a recipe for myself. I don't have a smoker, so I can't do that. You can buy smoked malts, though. I wonder how those compare? I read where some people like to smoke at least 50% of the grist. With only 1lb of smoked malt in the Alaskan stuff, I can't imagine it's very smoky at all. Not knowing how pungent the German smoked malts are, I came up with this:

Batch Size (Gal): 5.50 Wort Size (Gal): 5.50
Total Grain (Lbs): 11.25
Anticipated OG: 1.053 Plato: 13.02
Anticipated SRM: 28.8
Anticipated IBU: 25.8
Brewhouse Efficiency: 70 %
Wort Boil Time: 90 Minutes

WYeast 1728 Scotish Ale

I am thinking of cutting out the dark malts, and making this a smoked Scottish ale. I want it very full bodied.

if you have a BBQ grill, you have a smoker. I've smoked tons of meat in my grill even thoug it's not a 'real' smoker.

You can also find sheap in-the-kitchen, stove-top smokers for less than $30 if you shop around on-line.
