This is one I've been meaning to try for a few years now. Brewed on Sunday, in primary now.
Ingredients:
1lb Black Patent malt
1lb Chocolate Wheat malt
3lbs light DME
4lbs amber DME
2-3oz organic lapsang souchong from a local co-op
4oz chinook pellet hops
1oz nugget pellet hops
WLP028 Edinburgh Ale Yeast
(dry hop) 1oz of willamette hops
I think it is going to make I real nice fall/winter day brew, dark and rich, decently hopped, with some hints of pine forest and campfire. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for at this point. I do like how it smelled before I put the lid and airlock on - noticeable smoky, piny aroma, also some tea aroma. And the beastie burps are smelling nice and hoppy.
