What does SMaSH stand for

I searched as best I could. All I get is what I type, not what it means.

This is a probably a very stupid, simple question.

TIA

SMaSH = Single Malt and Single Hop.

It's a great way to 'learn' the flavor of a new hop.

There's even a group dedicated: http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/SMaSH_Enthusiasts

Single malt and single hops, or something like that.

Noone's ever asked this one since I've been here....even though the answer was given, we can still stretch our creative juices.

Speaking of, I have those 5 ounces of Argentinian Cascade...That would be an interesting hop to smash with, any suggestion on the malt?

Ugh, that would be horrid. I can't even imagine the depths of suckage on that.

How about Marris Otter and toast part of it... Would that still count as a single malt?

single men attract slutty hookers

On a real note, I'd go Maris Otter straight up. Great simple beer. I think you can get away with not toasting the MO since its more complex. If you used US 2-row, I'd consider toasting some of it.

Watch the IBU's on the Argentinean cascade. They do not = regular cascade

You tell us after you do a SMaSH with them, how about it. Actually I'm curious about my Glacier as well. I've got 6 ounces but have not tried it before.

I did do a very near SMaSH of Sterling with Pale Malt and one pound of Crystal 40 and it was really really good. Straightforward hop bittering, floral aroma, slight fruit to it. Next time I would probably go a bit higher on the IBUs (21 on 5 gal batch) but was unsure of the hop.

Coincidentally I am tapping the final mini keg of that batch tonight.

Do any of these SMaSH brews turn out well? I might do one if I have some leftover hops & MO.

There are some really great combinations that I've tried- Cascade/MO and EKG/MO are wonderful in my opinion.

You can even play with some techniques to get increased complexity, including boiling down the first runnings.
