Notes
I revised this recipe on 6/21/23. I pulled back on the percentage of Rauchmalz because of Matthias Trum's comments on industrially produced Rauchmalz. Trum claims that Schlenkerla's Rauchmalz is less assertive because Schlenkerla's malting process is designed for smoking, whereas Weyermann adds the smoke once the malt has been kilned. Trum says that makes Weyermann's harsher, implying brewers should use less of it when they are making a Rauchbier.
This recipe is also inspired by Schlenkerla's Fastenbier. I find its moderate smokiness, as compared to their classic Rauchbier, makes a more accessible and balanced entree to Rauchbiers.
Couldn't get the starter all the way up to 1.75. The White Labs calculator said my pitch will be 1.12
Won a gold medal for at the 2023 Lights Out dark beer only competition.
