Roasting in a SMaSH

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

We should introduce a new term for the roasted and single hopped beer, RaSH. Sounds delicious.

hehe....yeah, good one! Anyone want to taste my RaSH? Think that will catch on?

How about TRaSH: Toasted/Roasted malt and Single Hop.

Anyone care to try my TRaSH beer?

ASMaSH Adjusted Single Malt and Single Hop.......Makes sense, but I prefer rash and trash.

Damn Evan, you’re a tough debater. I have to watch my choice of words closer.

What I meant to say was that you not only have to start with one malt type, but also qualified that with it having to come from the same maltster.

+1 On this. I don't even try to disagree with him!

But I will since this doesn't really matter. My HB Club had a smash competition. I won on my SMaSH. I did a pale malt & summit hops. The recipe was for 5 gallons, 10# of pale malt and 4oz of summit. I took 1/2# out of the bag roasted it for 10 minutes at 350F. Then after two weeks mashed it up.

This beer was awesome. The Summit made it taste like tangerine with a little toastiness.

This is no different than mashing and let it sour. Its no different than smoking the grain or the hops. Its still one malt and one hop when you bought it from the LHBS.

My HB Club was on the fence about this. It was 50/50 split in disagreement. The winner only gets bragging rights. In fact I think some where jealous, one that they didn't think about it, two they didn't find an awesome hop to make a SMaSH.

Problem with a SMaSH cat by BJCP is how would you really know someone stuck to an actual SMaSH or not?

True, but how do they know that you're not taking a commercial beer and repackaging it for any entry? I think we’re on the honor system.

How about a SOMaSH? Single Origin Malt and Single Hop?
or SOMMaSH. Single Origin Manipulated Malt and Single Hop
