Ok...I've got a friend who enjoys my basic english bitters. However, he also likes scotch, and english snuff (tobacco you snort for those unaware, with a bit of sweetness in the finish). He'd like something like a esb, but with a toasty, slightly smoky peat quality. I looked at honey malt, sounds nutty and slightly sweet, but not sure since I've never used it. I'm looking to brew this weekend and deliver a case to him for Christmas (I'm keeping a case for myself....gotta keep the pipeline going!) Here's what I came up with......any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
7.75 English 2-row (Halycylon)
1 lb victory malt
.5 lb crystal 60l
.5lb honey malt
3 oz smoked peat malt
1oz Kent goldings 60 min
.75oz Kent goldings 15 min
.5 oz fuggle 1 min
Safale-04 yeast
Hoping for 5% abv (brewhouse 75%)
25 IBU
10 srm
Thanks
