Hmmmm. I reckon i used JW choc but i picked up some bairds choc from Wayne last week. Not used it before and keen to see how it goes. Less roasty would be good.
hmm that looks good...might give me a burl at that as well...may i ask any reason in particular you bailed on the wheat malt...just curious is all...can you please let us know what it turns out like ...So the recipe is now as follows:
1 x Coopers Dark Ale
1kg x LDME
200g Medium Crystal (or something similar) malt [steeped for 1/2 hour at 70-80/c then boiled]
100g Pale Chocolate [steeped for 1/2 hour at 70-80/c then boiled]
100g Smoked Malt [steeped for 1/2 hour at 70-80/c then boiled]
20g Fuggles @ 30
10g Fuggles @ 5
Actually I realised I had to mash the smoked malt (unless it can work steeped or there's an easy way to mash) so that cuts that out. About the wheat malt:- I'm still quite new so I'm not quite sure why people have added it.hmm that looks good...might give me a burl at that as well...may i ask any reason in particular you bailed on the wheat malt...just curious is all...can you please let us know what it turns out like ...
thanks simpletotoro
...i've never used smoked malt...but have mashed other grains ...i'm no expert mind you...but it dead easy and cannot see any reason why the smoked malt would be any different...take and preheat a thermos flask (since your only looking at 100g you'd use an esky if it was in the kilos[don't ask me if 100g smoked malt is enough i'll ask the man at MLHS if you like]) ......to mash use around 300 ml of water (for 100g) and raise to 66/c and put it in the thermos for an hour ...strain add to your boil of crystal etc... and maybe be ok... others here with more idea on this malt then i please contradict my adviceActually I realised I had to mash the smoked malt (unless it can work steeped or there's an easy way to mash) so that cuts that out.

well theres not much to it ...but if your want to know more read the airlocked threads in the all grainGood name
Thanks for the advice I didn't realise mashing was that easy now I can actually do it. 100g going by the advice I think will give a smoked 'background'.
