Just got a starter going for a Chinook/Vienna SMaSH. Will be the first one I've done. Going 13lbs Vienna, and 7 oz Chinook 1 (60), .75 (20), .75 (5), 1.5 (flameout) and 3 (dry hop). Also using Wyeast 1332 Northwest Ale for the first time. Planning on brewday Wednesday.

I am not a fan of real hoppy beers, and try to keep the IBU's in the 25-30 range in most of my brews. I would like to try a SMaSH and would love to hear some suggestions keeping the lower IBU's. I have done one all grain batch before, and think I would be OK doing this SMaSH. If you have any suggestions on combinations of malts and hops I would be open to any suggestions. Thanks!

SMaSH sounds fun! I have a little less than an ounce of Sorachi Ace in whole hop form - it'd be really cool to make a SMaSH using it. I'm brewing 2.5 gallons, so that's probably enough to get the flavor out of the hop, no?

Suggestions on a malt to use?

Belgian pale malt and use a Belgian yeast. I would FWH then a whirlpool addition.

Any updates on how the MO and Sorachi came out? I was gonna do this tomorrow but decided to go with MO/Falconers Flight. May do sorachi next week.

I have a MO/Falconer's Flight smash in the primary right now. It's still really young but smells excellent. Mostly late hop additions and dry hopped.

Interesting mix of units in that recipe.

What is the chalk meant to accomplish?

I've only made one smash so far so i guess that makes it my best one by default. It's a Vienna simcoe ipa with 5oz of simcoe in the boil, small fwh and the rest was late addition. Bottled it last weekend and the hydro sample tasted like pure hop juice!
