I did a Vienna/Galaxy SMaSH APA that turned out fantastic. Very nice taste and smooth finish.

I went overboard and did a 10 gallon smash this weekend. Maris Otter and citra. The spare room I am fermenting in smells like a bowl of citrus fruit. I have high hopes for this one.
Not sure how light you're looking at but my first runnings were a beautiful deep gold.
Uploaded the pic from my phone so I am sorry if the web browser makes it huge

I loved the way this one turned out for me. Maris Otter/Falconers Flight SMaSH. This is for 2 gallons, just cut in half for one.
Hate to break it to you but you can't make a SMaSH with Falconer's Flight since it is a blend of different hops, which definitely violates the SH rule.
Sounds good though.

24lbs Of Munich Malt
2ounces, of 15%AA Millenium
1.115 -----> down to 1.004
Now I need to add something to this beast to balance it....
How in the world did you manage that?
I've been doing 1 gallon smashes to experiment and this turned out pretty tasty:
Sand Otter IPA
2.5 lbs Maris Otter
6g Mosaic - 60
6g Mosaic - 30
6g Mosaic - 15
8g Mosaic - fo
(Yes, I just mixed US and metric; I went there.)
This beer was my first brewing with Mosaic and it was phenomenal. I brewed it again but mixed in a bit of Dark Munich and it was pure awesome.
"Best SMaSH recipe you've made???"
Relative to my other beers with more complexity and layers of flavor/aroma, the SMaSH beers are all wayyyyy less desirable. SMaSH is a good process to follow if you want to learn about hops and malts, but not so much if you want to create the best beer you've ever made. Simple is great... but up to a point.
Isn't a pilsner essential a smash? You may not "desire" a smash but it seems there are others here that love'em. Desirability is a personal preference. Brew it, drink it, then decide if you like it. Simplicity has a beauty all its own. Complexity may be just that, complex and confusing.

Sometimes simple is the best policy.

Greels said:Why would you even come into this thread to write that?
Based on a couple recommendations in this thread as well as others, I am currently brewing a Maris Otter/Citra SMaSH, and it's my first brew! Never had a SMaSH before, but I can't wait to try it!
Would love to hear your impressions when you finally taste it. I have been brewing for some time but my first smash is mo/citra. Just hit week 2 in the primary. Plan to dry hop tomorrow.
