This video will guide you through designing SMASH beers with key advice around the “do’s and don’ts”. I also put forward why this type of recipe is so useful to those of all experience levels as well as how it can be used as a template for spontaneous brewing. I also include a SMASH beer recipe example of my own for reference.
