All-Grain - Tell Me, How My A.S.S. Taste? (American Smoked Stout)
Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: Safale S-05 Batch Size (Gallons): 6.00 Original Gravity: 1.066 Final Gravity: not measured IBU: 53.7 Boiling Time (Minutes): 60 Color: 33.4 Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 21 days @ 68° Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): cold-conditioned in the keg for ~1 month Tasting Notes: Very smooth; well-balanced between roast and smoke characteristics.
Recipe took a few weeks to mellow out in the keg post-fermentation. A little harsh/aggressive at first (hops and roast). 6-8 weeks in, developed a smooth, chewy, smokey, roasty, balanced character that was very well received even by several who are *not* necessarily fans of smoked beers.
EDIT: I should say, this is definately a *smoked* beer. I find it quite balanced for my tastes (and it was well-received), but someone seeking a beer that's more stout-first, smoked-second could easily sub out a pound, pound and a half of the rauchmalt for more base malt.
I so want some of bird's A.S.S. I want it real bad.
I heard it was great A.S.S.
Thanks for sharing the recipe- I am putting this on my list to brew.

Would adding 5-6 jalapenos to the primary ruin this beer or would the spice, in your opinion, liven it upa bit?
I wouldn't do primary. Roast, skin and dice some jalapenos would be much nicer. Roast em over charcoal and it'll be ever better. Hell, dry-hop that thing with dried chipotle!
Mmmmmmm smoke..

This sounds incredible - big rauschbeer fan. I'm only starting a couple of brews right now (newbie) but I think this might be number 3 on my list after some help from my LHBS.
