Notes

Asked for .6# of TF peat smoked malt instead of .06#... so now it's a smoked peat scotch ale! This is pushing the limit on this smoked malt so hopefully a lot of smoke is all I get. Doesn't smell or taste bad from the boil so hopefully that's the case after it ferments.

Brewed 28FEB2017
Gravity 08APR2017 was 1.022, attenuation adjusted

Update 19AUG2017
This beer actually came out pretty darn good. Sweet, smokey, but I personally don't find it overpowering. I think it will age well.
