Does a beer with one malt and one hop PLUS adjuncts count as a SMASH?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question..

A SMASH beer is Single Malt And Single Hop, and (from the recipes I've seen) just those - if you mashed with an adjunct like wheat would you still consider that a SMASH so long as there was only one malt in the grain bill?

I would expect a SMASH beer to have 1 fermentable and 1 hop. I would consider base malt(barley, wheat or rye) + adjunct(any thing not the base malt but fermentable) + hop to be against the ethos of a SMASH beer.

It would then be a SMSAASH beer Single malt, single adjunct and single hop.

You may have just invented a whole new category of craft beers!!


Yes, as you said "A SMASH beer is Single Malt And Single Hop". And wheat malt is still a malt. So yes, you can call it a SMASH beer.
