Weyermann’s traditional beechwood smoking process creates a balanced smoke profile that integrates cleanly into both lagers and ales.

In All-Grain Brewing

Use 5–10% for subtle smoke complexity. Increase to 20–50% for moderate smoke character, or up to 100% for traditional rauchbier intensity.

In Partial Mash Brewing

Include in the mash portion to extract full smoke flavor and fermentable sugars.

In Extract Brewing

Because it can function as a base malt, it should be mashed for full conversion and flavor extraction.
