has anyone got a smoked ipa recipe?

Hi, I'm looking for a good smoked ipa recipe, and also any thoughts and hints would he helpful. How does the hop flavor work with the smoked malt? I'm really keen to try brew one!

Try St Peters Whisky beer first (was available in Waitrose), if you like that then have a go. Not my choice of malts, but everyone likes something different.

Not so sure that would work. Smoked malt seems to be a funny beast that needs a really clean malty platform to shine. Too much bitterness, hop flavour/aroma or yeast character and the smoke may get lost in a muddy tasting beer.

That said, there's only one way to find out, so I'd recommend taking a nice looking IPA recipe and subbing around 30% of the pale malt for smoked. Remember the smokiness between maltsters varies a fair bit and use a clean yeast like us05 or wlp001. Smoke also seems to suit darker beers so perhaps try a black IPA?

Ok great, thanks for that. I was heading that way, I'm going for a tried and tested ipa brew that i know is good and substituting some pale with the smoked, the dark idea is good, I might add some....I'll keep you updated. Sunday brewday!
