Smoked Angry Dwarf Pale Ale

Specialty - American Pale Ale
All Grain

Brewer's Notes

Mashed at 67 degrees. Beersmith gives 31 IBU's, and colour as 21 EBC. The long boil was caused by really cold weather and no insulation on my urn, so just make the recipe up to 27 IBU's at 60 minutes and then the 10 minute addition as per the recipe. The 0 minute addtion was done using the French Press method straight into the keg prior to force carbonating at 2.4 volumes. Kegged and chilled for 6 weeks then bottled to help with clarity.

How did it come out. Tasting notes please

Going by memory from the case swap, this was very nice. A bit of smokiness but not over the top. Looking forward to the bottle in the case.

 

[Effect]

I really enjoyed this beer, so much that I am going to make one.

As this was my first smoked ale, I didn't know what to expect. It was brewed well IMO, but for my taste buds it needed a bit more smoked malt in it (but others I think have said maybe there was too much?). Anyway, if you are umming and erring about doing a smoked ale, this is a cracker of one to do.

Cheers
