That's crazy amount of specialty malt

I just read an article yesterday in a BYO mag I found laying around the house. It said the exact same thing you just said about smoke malt. I've never made a smoky beer, had a couple but wasn't crazy about it. Just be careful with the smoke on the bastard.
I wished I could brew this weekend!

I gotta ask about a 100 dollar specialty malt grain bill. Share?
Brewed an IPA yesterday, a nice step away from all the NE IPAs I have been doing lately. I wanted something completely opposite side of the spectrum.
This one is designed to be intensely bitter and unbalanced. OG of 1.056 (expected FG of 1.008-1.010), approx. 6% ABV. Using good ole Chico.
100+ IBU with a nice collection of dank hops Columbus, Nugget, Simcoe, Centennial and Chinook. 3oz of Chinook alone as my bittering charge at 60min, on top of 1oz of Columbus as a FWH. The only other additions at 15min and flame out. For the dry hop, a bit of color with a small amount of Galaxy and Citra (with a bulk of the dry hop being Simcoe and Nugget).
Water profile is very high in sulfates (350ppm) to further accent the bitterness/dryness.
Grist was a bit more robust with additions of munich, vienna and flaked wheat on top of the 2-row. Touch of carapils and 60L (5oz or so to bring color to 5 SRM).
Yeast and O2 are rarin' to go but can't pitch 'til it drops another 10°F.
Lagers are a bit of a pita...
Cheers!
