I smoked a couple of lbs of two-row by soaking the grains in sterilized water for 25 min, then distributing on the stainless screen put into the smoker, thickness involved .25 to .5 " layer, the grain was smoked at 225°F. for just two hrs using white-colored oak and merely a little mesquite added within the last fifteen minutes. the taste is very unique and it is the large cause of the camping inside a pint comments.
My efficency has developed in the mid 80's recently and also the last batch arrived at 1.072 and handle in the usual 1.016 netting 7.42%ABV
Overall opinion of the one would be that the rye comes through nicely in advance contributing to an attractive mouthfeel, the smoke flavor and aroma almost dominate the beer yet nice hoppy bitterness is noted, the FWH smoothes the bitterness in to the flavor additions very well.
This beer has had first devote the monthly homebrew club meeting tastings on 2 seperate occasions, and is among my most requested beers from buddies.
