The Durden Park Beer Circle give full instructions on making light amber malt (in their rather thin book). Brown ale malt is just a bit darker. But as both the Malt Miller and Brew UK do a Brown Malt, is it worth filling your kitchen with smoke?Hello all

In truth I've never tried it, but I should imagine it's like roasting coffee beans.Would it cause a lot of smoke?
@AdeDunn I really like what brown malt brings to a beer too but i find it almost intangible. I also find you need to keep the percentage low, like 5% or less, otherwise it can get a bit harsh. Having said that, I've found that if the harsh character does come through, it tends to round out and become quite pleasant with a bit of ageing.
