I am looking to do my second BIAB. I bought some cherry wood smoked briess when I was at the hbs in MN since we were in town for a football game, and since my brother in law and I thought it smelled terrific. Now I am not sure what to make with it. For the record I am not a huge hop head...I have the following on hand

grain

21 lbs marris otter
8 lbs 2 row
8 lbs cherry wood smoked briess
8 lbs white wheat

yeast
safale-05
and smack pack of american wheat yeast

2 oz willamette hops
2 oz cascade hops
1 oz nugget hops

I am not opposed to buying a few additional things from the lhbs, but their selection isn't the best in the world...ideas?
 
I just transferred a smoked porter/stout over to the secondary that I had 5 lbs of cherry wood smoked malts in. DAMN. I hope it's not too early to tell, but it's outstanding! Nutty chocolate, roasted earthy notes, and a nice balance of smoke.

And the use of cherry smoked was due to PassedPawn, so I agree with him wholeheartedly. Let us know what you go with!
