SMaSHing tomorrow!
|
|
Well I'm going to give a SMaSH recipe a try tomorrow, so the strike water should be heating up shortly after sunrise, approx 7:30am.
My ingredients:
11lbs Maris Otter
3oz Chinook
Anyone else brewing tomorrow?
Discuss.

Wow, interesting recipe. Please chime back in and let us know how it turns out. I've done two SMaSHes so far. First one was one of the best beers I've made, the second one is still in primary.
Not brewing tomorrow (should've today), but at least I'm working at the LHBS.

I don't think that could be bad.
No brewing this weekend. Too much rain and work to do around the house. |

What's your hop sched.? 1oz @ 60, 1 oz @ 15 and 1 oz at flameout? Sounds like a winner. I need to do a SMaSH.
BTW, what BJCP style does a SMaSH fall under?

I'm not a chinook fan.
I made an unexciting SMaSH recently of my Rahr 2-row. Just wanted to taste it "naked". Not bad, but not something to write home about. Twas a bit of a Warsteiner, to put a face to it.
I should mention that the other half of the SMaSH was Willamette.

Alrighty, I'm 14 minutes into the mash as I type this. In an effort to try to nail all of my temperatures, I re-calibrated my dial thermometers last night. I try to shoot for ~2 degrees over my desired mash water temp so I can pre-heat the tun for a few minutes but I think I might have missed my mash temp by about 4 degrees too low...Ah well.
Anyways, I'm jumping on the Gordie bandwagon and going to tweet my brewdays. If anyone is interested you can follow my day at www.twitter.com/iamahomebrewer
