Smoked Pils
This is a Pils that has a hint of smoke similar to a style from a
brewery in Bamberg, Germany. I think the smoke will be a nice
secondary flavor Characteristic to go with the slightly malty and
hopped lager. I've been reading a lot about smoked beers, and this
will be my first effort. Since I couldn't find the Hugh Baird malt on the list, I
substituted American 2 Row for the half pound of Hugh Baird peated
malt in the mash. Let me know what you think. When I get some info from
the Hugh Baird company, I'll go back and plug in the values.
