So help me out here if you can. I'd like to try some SMASH brewing and I'm living in Korea and have access to a rather limited amount of ingredients. Without breaking the bank the base malts I can get in bulk are:
Weyerman Pilsner
Weyerman Pale
Weyerman Munich
Weyerman Vienna
Crisp Maris Otter
The Swean Pilsner
Ideally, I'd love to try each one while trying to keep all other variables constant (as much as possible). That would, of course, take a few months as I'm currently set up to do just one 5-gallon batch at a time.
Anyway, my questions are:
1) Have of you done any SMASH brewing with the above grains? I'm particularly interested to hear how the Munich and Vienna turned out if you used them.
2) What hops would you go with if trying to SMASH with the above?
3) And what yeast? I'm thinking something rather basic like US-05 or Coopers, but I'll be interested to hear if you have other ideas.
Thanks.
