AG#25/26 – Crafty Smoke/No Smoke Without Fire

Rebrew of the smoked porter, but this time with more smoke. Lately I’ve found a likeing for things that have been smoked, and would like to try this with different smoked malts. This brew uses Weyerman’s beech smoked malt. It took a third place in a large mixed bag category at the London and Southeast Homebrew Competition.

A portion of this is going to have chipotle (smoked jalapeno) from a fellow brewclub member added to it.
