I set out to brew a Cascade SMaSH last weekend with Marris Otter and some homegrown Cascade, but I couldn’t help myself and ended up throwing in some leftovers from the Smoked IPA I brewed a few weeks ago. I ended up with:
10 lbs Marrios Otter
1/2 lb Roasted Rye Malt60 min – 1 oz Homegrown Cascade and 1/4 Warrior Pellets
30 min – 1/2 oz Homegrown Cascade
15 min – 1/2 oz Homegrown Cascade and 1/2 oz Chinook Pellets
Flameout – 1/2 oz Homegrown Cascade and 1/2 oz Chinook PelletsFermented with US-05
Will add another oz or so of homegrown cascade in “secondary” after my primary fermentation finishes up, but I’m not planning on doing a transfer.
I don’t really know how this will turn out – I just had really low self control on brew day. The wort sample tasted great and it smells good, so I’m feeling optimistic! Capturing it here just in case it’s a winner!

I don’t think it’s amazing and I probably wouldn’t go buy the ingredients and brew it again, but I don’t think I’ll have trouble working through 5 gallons of it over the fall! It’s got a nice malt flavor, but is probably slightly under-hopped. A lot of that is probably just from using homegrown hops and not having a consistent crop of those. Definitely happy enough with it, though – especially for such a lazily brewed beer!
