I have been exploring Scotch. My favorite so far is Laphroaig 10 Year, but there are a few others a little less smokey that I enjoy as well. However I’ve also tried Lagavulin 16 Year and found it reminiscent of bog water.
I have a friend who thought trying this grain in a beer sounded good and in common Josh fashion didn’t bother to ask questions or look for information. He used the whole pound in a ~5 gal batch and produced bog water himself.
So how much of this grain would I want to use to produce a very smokey flavor up front without going overboard?
Here’s a nice little chart I was given to help me explore Scotch. Laphroaig 10 is central at the top.
I’ve also wondered about using a little of my Scotch to soak wood in. How much would it take to infuse that sort of flavor? And is it even worth doing with the cost of it?
