Notes

This is one of the best beers I've ever made. I'll definitely make it again and adjust the recipe at some point. The initial flavours are complex but distinguishable and the level of smoke in the beer is just right for my pallet. If you don't like very smokey flavours, reduce the amount of smoked malt in your version.

IMPORTANT: I don't have a cooling coil and use ice (which I make with boiled spring water) to bring the beer to a temperature where the hops no longer add bitterness (below 60C). If you have a cooling coil, increase the amount of water in your strike or sparge by 3 liters. The 3 kg of ice are not enough to get you to a temperature where you can immediately add your yeast, so you will likely have to let this sit overnight.

The malts shown in the recipe are the best approximations for what I can get locally, none of the malts I used perfectly align with the conditions from the ones in this recipe, so I expect some variation in the results of subsequent brews based on malt-profile fluctuations.
