Hey guys,
I'm brewing an Old Ale tomorrow, and was considering tossing in 1# or less (less than 10%) of Weyermann Smoked Malt to make something a little different.
Using mainly MO, a little 2-row and some pale chocolate malt. I know this isn't to style if i throw some smoked malt in, but I like to change things up, and thought it could be interesting.
Only concern is the smoke masking the good malt flavours I have in the first place, which is the backbone of a Old Ale.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
