Any way to make a smokey beer with extract?
The Bries applewood smoked malt it probably twice as potent as Rauchmalt so steeping a pound of it would help but I don't think you'll win any awards with it.
Looking to make a Rauchbier next.
Not into all grain yet. I've done specialty grains and I think I attempted a partial mash and didn't realize it!

I don't think Briess makes apple wood smoked malt anymore. Their website only shows cherry wood smoked. Either way the cherry wood smoked malt is much stronger than rauchmalt, so your point stands; but I'd be hesitant to steep a base malt myself, as I would rather avoid the starches.
Brainfart. I meant cherry the whole time.
Don't know if they bring in the LME or the grain or both. I just started poking around late yesterday so I haven't tried to contact anyone yet.
The grain is readily available at just about every online store, but AFAIK the LME is not sold in the US.
My search so far backs this up. Wonder why the LME isn't brought here?
Probably because of limited demand for it and the limited shelf life of LME. I wouldn't want to stock it and have it deteriorate on my shelf while I waited for the 1 in a thousand customer to walk in my door and ask for it.
Just to chime in:
I work for a company located in Bamberg Germany, actually on the same street as Weyermann (Company Wieland Electric)
I could talk to a few guys over there to see about sourcing some of the Weyermann specialty malts.
I will actually be there in two weeks, also I make about 8 trips a year there, so not a problem to get some stuff shipped home.
On a side note; the smell in the city is amazing, very often you can see/smell the malt roasting vapors in the air.

it back in line. YMMV.
-11.3oz Smoked Malt
-1lb 3.2oz Amber LME
- .25oz German Tettnang
- .2 Whirlfloc Tab at 10 minutes
- Safale US-05. It broke this down into a fraction but I'm thinking pitch the whole package.
I will state that if you like the smoke I'd double that amount of smoked grain.
Need more info let me know.
