Weyermann Bamberg Rauch (smoked beer)

[cerevisia]

Anyone made a beer using the Rauchbier 4kg malt extract?

If so, how smoky was it, and how much did you use? I'll be doing a partial mash with the stuff once I get it.

Cheers in advance!

I haven't, but it is my understanding that it is almost 100% (98% or so) smoked malt. depending on how smoky you like it you can use it for 100% of the malt bill. I'd guess that 90% smoked extract and 10% crystals would get you somewhere along the smokiness of The Bishop. mmmmmm:P

Thanks for that! Much agreed too. I'm thinking 90% smoked extract and 10% of maybe chocolate, rye and crystal malts?

Oh yeah, I love The Bishop! :D

Dunno if you've seen this or not.

98% rauch, 2% carafa special II.

Awesome, cheers for that! :)

Did you ever brew this? How did it turn out? It's my next adventure.

It took a bit of time to mature but in the end - wow! I quite liked it, the smoke is definitely there. I say go for it!
