Ok, so I just tasted my first all grain. A simple heffeweizen, 60% wheat, 40% pils, brewed with danstar Munich yeast. So the funny thing is it has a bit of a smokey taste. We measured everything during the brew, and although I don't have the measurements with me, as I recall it the mash ph was high (7-8). I have read this could be the cause of the smoke taste? Anyone have experience with this? As a side note, it's not the most terrible beer I have ever tasted, just unexpected.
