Rauchbier

[Brew49411]

I am thinking about doing one of these. How does this sound
20% weyermann's smoked malt
65 % pale
25% munich



Any suggestions???

more smoked, I used 60 % and got not too hardcore a smoked flavor.

yes use more, when brewing with that smoked malt, 20 % will give you only very slight smoke flavor, I would use from 30 % to open end!

I've used 75% - not my recipe - but it was very tasty!

From what I hear, Schlenkerla is using some Weyermann to augment, but a good portion of their own smoked malt, too. It's considerably more complex than a straight 75% Weyermann Rauch.

rauchbeers are the best!! use more smoked malt! more more more!

I brewed one at my last brewery. A Bamberg native stopped in and said it was "just like being home". Here are the percentages I used:

42 % Weyermann Pilsner
22% Weyermann Dark Munich
10% Weyermann Vienna
26% Weyermann Smoked
