I've always wanted to try brewing a Bacon Flavored Beer. There was a brewpub here in Washington that made a bacon flavored pale ale. I've always thought it would be a good flavor in a Robust Porter. After some online research, i found a few recipes.
I tweaked learned quite a bit and I learned a lot. I'm going to bake the bacon in the oven at 350F for about 15 minutes on parchment paper. This will soak up most of the grease. I'll bake it until it's crispy, but not burnt. I'll then use a paper towel to get as much of the grease off of it as I can. Then I'll put 5 ounces of it in my ninja blender and grind it down to small chunks. I'll put that in a pint of vodka and let it steep for about a week, while the beer is in primary. I'll strain the bacon infused vodka into my beer in the secondary.
I found a photo of a bacon flavored stout with a strip of yummy bacon floated on the top. It's awesome looking.
I'm also posting the recipe that I came up with. Any thoughts or suggestions or even random comments will be appreciated.
