On a whim, I bought some peat smoked malt, thinking I might use it in a stout. But searching the web has yielded pretty negative results for peat smoked malt. Has anyone used it in a stout before? Any advise?

A small percentage makes a lovely addition to a stout. Never understood the aversion to it amongst the home brewing writers like Jamil etc. But you certainly need a light hand with it. 3 ounces will make itself known in a standard 5 gal batch. Do a search for Stone Smoked Porter. There's plenty of clone recipes out there. If it's good enough for Stone, well..

Mikkeller beer geek breakfast stout is another one. I made it once with rauchmalz. If I remember right it could have taken a bit more smokiness so maybe peat smoked malt would work.

Just checked my notes.. I used 125g in a 19 litre batch. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it delivers quite a punch. As long as the malt is fresh, at least.
