How to fix smoke damage from making rauchbier?

[Epimetheus]

How do I remove the smoke smell from the kitchen after making smoked porter?

Yesterday I brewed my first rauchbier with cherrywood smoked malt. I do BIAB in the kitchen on an electric stove using a heatstick to help with the boil. All through the process the steam filling the room was wonderful. The porter looks good, black as a nightmare and smoky as the hinges of Hades.

Unfortunately, the wood-smoke filled steam permeated the ceiling and everything. The kitchen still smells like a bonfire.

I don't see the problem.

Well, if you don't like the smell, just wipe everything down with a wet cloth. Smoke in the water vapor just likely condensed on the cooler surfaces.

'K, I'll try wiping everything down. the ceiling will require a Swifter mop.

I recommend to fry some eggs with bacon, and getting a Schlenkerla Rauchbier.
After that the kitchen has a different "flavor" and you are a happy camper.
If not, clean & wipe will help ;-)
