Just got 10 lbs of this stuff and it sure smells nice.

Briess Smoked Malt
There’s nothing like brewing a beer with smoked malt. Smoked malt delivers exceptional brewing creativity, making it possible to develop complexity in Scotch Ales to rich, robust smoky flavor in Rauch Beers and Porters.

And now, with Briess Smoked Malt, you can brew all that and more without infusing astringent, phenolic harshness in your beer. That’s because Briess Smoked Malt delivers an intense yet smooth, sweet, smoked malt character not available in any other commercially available smoked malt, and that lends itself to use in many beer styles. It is characterized by:

* Intense smoke flavor
* Smooth, sweet, smoked malt character
* Smoked with cherry wood
* No astringent, phenolic harshness
* Color 5º Lovibond
* DP 140
* Alpha Amylase 50
* Packaged in 40-lb, foil-lined bags
* Smoked in small batches
* Delivers consistent smoked flavor

Because Briess Smoked Malt is produced in small batches right here in America’s Heartland and packaged in foil-lined bags that retain flavor, aroma and product freshness, you can brew the same recipe over and over again with consistent results. And its smooth, sweet smoked malt flavor gives you the tool needed to brew beer with terrific new flavors your customers will love.

I purchased some last week and ended up using it this weekend. I only had 2 lbs and it was 13% of the grain bill for a robust porter. I'm sure if that was enough to carry through some good smoke. We'll see!

I also purchased 1 lb for my Porter that I hope to do this Sunday. It will only be 6%. I just wanted to try a little a first.
