What type of smoked malt were you planning on using?

Make certain the wort is well chilled before putting it on the cake.

i haven't decided. the homebrew lady has a german smoked malt, or i may just have a pound of pale malt put in a seperate bag that i'll smoke my self on the webber, i have all kinds of wood laying around. or i may just get some oak chips from old whisky barrels and put them in the secondary...
