Notes

Pull off 2.5 quarts when starting to sparge for the decoction. Boil it down to a syrup of about 2 cups.
add honey at 15 minutes left in boil to pasteurize it.

Don't want it smoky? Leave it out and you get the base beer which is still great.

I am fermenting a batch of base beer (no smoke malt) on 4/11/2020, it is an experiment - I am reusing a US-05 slurry from my Kona LemonWave brew. So, this will determine if it goes way drier or if the yeast gives up. BTW - The OG came in at 1.070 with the decoction added. Fermentation snap started within 4 hours of pitching.

The first batch was without the Cherry Wood Smoked Malt and it is smooth and malty. I will definitely add the Smoked Malt next time - it will add a new dimension to the brew. This was good at first tasting, and it continues to get silkier as it ages.
