hi, ive never brewed a smoke beer before, and the only one i've had has been schlenkerla marzen. how does this recipe with one pound of smoked malt compare in smokiness level to marzen? did you smoke the malt yourself? just wondering about comparison of amount for taste

Have you brewed this recently? Have you tried brewing this beer but using Wyeast Pacman yeast during fermentation (since that what Rogue uses)?

I love Rogue Ales and just saw this post, hoping the user who write it is still active.

Does the one pound of smoke malt give you enough smoke flavor?

Well, so far I just kegged this on the 21st so it's basically cold and not carbonated at this point. The smoke flavor is there but on the lighter side. Tentatively I would say that I would put more in the next time I brew this, probably at least go to 2 lbs rauchmalt if you want more than a hint of smoke IMO.
