This Flyday's Brew Recipe of the week comes from Russell Smits, whom we had the pleasure to meet during his time @CoreBrewing and taste some of his wonderful experimental brews. Russell is an avid home brewer with a PhD in Geology so like our other Dr Beer - Dr Russell Carpenter - another Russell, we expect this recipe will be a good one to brew your own at home! Cheers & Thx Dr Smits for this great recipe to share with our readers.
Russell called this beer "El Humo" with the chilli and corn being more Mexican and the steam ale style (Humo is Spanish for Steam). Brew happy :-)
The smokey chilli flavours in this beer should be subtle, as such the malt and hop additions are minor to allow the other flavours a chance. A great drop for a nice afternoon, with the minor heat from the late chillie requiring another one to wash it down, and another, and.......
