This and many other brews/discussions on HBT gave rise to the term SMaSH.

Single Malt and Single Hop recipe.

It can be done with extract, extract and steep, partial mash and all grain brewing.

The idea is us use it to learn how malt and hop combinations taste.

Here was my first SMaSH recipe. (From 2007)

Following the KISS principle.

Single malt variety
Single hop variety
Single Infusion
Single Stage fermentation

Thanks. Good info for those of us who go off and brew for months and come back periodically for new inspiration.

I thought I might try this idea.

Any thoughts on a SMaSH using Simpson's Golden Promise with Amarillo, Centennial or Simcoe?

There's plenty of SMaSH threads. I'm sure some one will have done one of those combination.
There is even an HBT SMaSH brewers group.

This was just to let people know what SMaSH is and where it came from.

SMaSH is such a great idea. I think, myself, as a homebrewer I often times try to do too much...too much emphasis on wild recipes or complicated hop schedules. Arguably the best Pilsner in the World...Urquell...is a SMaSH.

Simple is sometimes the best method.

I absolutely love the SMaSH concept, one of my regular brews is a Golden Promise, Cascade SMaSH. I actually roast about 4 pounds of grain for different lengths of time to change the flavor profile a bit. Does this still count as a SMaSH or have I strayed from the original intent??

I always thought the "Ma" with the lowercase "a" stood for Malt, so "Single Malt Single Hop"... ?

Lower case letters generally (not always) denote an inferior or connecting words such as "of" or "and" or sometimes they are omitted entirely....

Sometimes meanings get mixed up, just like KISS generally means Keep It Stupid Simple, I like to think of it as a reminder for myself Keep It Simple, Stupid
