I'm pretty excited about this, and figured I'd post it up. I'm interested to see what people think on my idea...
I've been interested in doing a SMaSH for a while, and I just finished picking my 2nd year Nugget Hops. I haven't weighed it yet (they are still drying) but I'm estimating about a pound of Nugget! I picked up the vacuum seal bags from Amazon last week and intend on freezing some soon.
Anyway, here's my thought on my SMaSH:
2.5gal, BIAB method.
5lb Maris Otter - 60 min mash at 152
+/- .75oz Nugget leaf hops at 60 min
+/- .25oz Nugget leaf hops at 15 min
+/- .25oz Nugget leaf hops at 1 min
WLP028 yeast, currently in a starter.
For what it's worth, I haven't used MO yet, and heard nothing but good things. I'm looking forward to getting a good grasp on both my home grown nugget, as well as MO. I did a Scottish 80 a few months back with WLP028, and really liked it, so I'm reusing it for this.
Probably brewing this on sunday or monday - really looking forward to it and any comments/suggestions you folks have!
Cheers!
