So this may sound like a strange combo, but I've just brewed an incredible SMASH:
Malt: Maris Otter
Hops: Wakatu

I had to fiddle with it, as I didn't have a chiller at my disposal that day  ::)

For 8 litres of wort :
- 2.5Kg of Maris Otter malt
- 300g of oats (I wanted a creaminess, but it's optional)
- 10g of Wakatu at 30min.
- 60g of Wakatu off-flame, I let it steep for 20 minutes then remove it.
- 32G at D+5
- 32g at D+20

The lemony taste of the Wakatu combined with the smooth, honeyed texture of the Maris Otter malt and oats was amazing, I got great feedback on this brew :)

EDIT: Sorry I used the "grams" unit by reflex, I am French, I could convert if needed :)

I am a french lover of craft beers, beer boxes and I love brewing my own beer. I'm here to chat and share with other beer lovers. I also write on a beer website (french) where I talk about beer.
Don't hesitate to come and debate with me if you want to share our common passion!

I recently brewed a German Pils that was BestMalz Pilsner, lots of Tettnang, and S23 yeast. It was delicious.

This is probably boring by modern standards, but one of the best things I've made recently was a simple pale ale with a single late addition of Willamette.

Just good "beer-flavored" beer.
