Oak Smoked Wheat Beer

[BeerCat]

Bought some Oak Smoked Wheat Beer on the spur of the moment and planning on doing a variation of this.
I poured all my beer made with Rauchmalz down the sink but chewing on these grains they taste nice.
All suggestions welcome. Cheers

I did a biab with oak smoked and used a kilo of it. Didn't come out as Smokey as I thought it would. There's normally a fine line between smoked, and railways if you know what I mean. Next time I'll be adding more smoke.

I hear what your saying. That's why only doing 5l. If it turns out good i may experiment with steeping and take 5l from a brew and add it to that. Iv'e never done a step mash before so i may leave that out. Recipe calls for 80% oak smoked but its only 2.3%. I reckon i would gag drinking that so upping the ABV. Fingers crossed, will either be drinkable or down the drain.

Well its brewed and bottled. Only 4l so if its rank its down the sink or in raffles. Had a sample, it may be fantastic or it may be not. Certainly not the railways sleeper infused Rauchmalz experience so here is hoping.

Drinkable with a faint smoky taste. Gonna leave it a month and get back to it. Nothing like the Rauchmalz experience.

I made a Polish Grodziskie with 4Kg of Oak Smoked Wheat, with a step mash at 38' for 30 mins, 52' for 30 mins and 70' for another 30 mins. 2 hour boil adding 60g of lublin hops after 60 mins and another 14g after another 30 mins. Came out at 3.7% and is very drinkable. I also used a Gervin English Ale yeast, and used 3 carbonation drops per bottle for a 500ml bottle. I would definitely make it again at some point. Unfortunately it didn't keep its head for long, but still it's a nice drink.
