100% peat smoked malt? Yes!

[jgourd]

I recently brewed a Strong Scotch Ale with 100% peat smoked malt. I just added it to the recipe database. I'd love comments.

No offense, but this sounds appalling to me.. not a fan of peat smoked malts. Can't even imagine what that would taste like at 100%.

Is it fermenting still?

From the linked recipe thread:

I served this at a brew event (there were about 100 different kinds of beer there, including 15 different kinds of homebrews). This won brewer's choice (the best beer picked by homebrewers and pro brewers). I never thought that it would -- it was an experiment!

Ive found that more smoked malt is better so I bet it works

The level of smoke that comes through is highly dependent on how long it has been since it was smoked. That stuff just effuses a lot of aroma as it sits around in the grain bins.

But I'd love to try a 100% peat smoked malt! Does smoking it affect the diastatic power? Apparently not!
