Yes, it was quite pricey. But it does not hold a candle to the $8/22 oz bottle cost :)

I did not secondary this at all since I kegged.

Decoction. For this:

Decoct 1 gallon 10 min. Hold at...

Fastenove, I didn't use rice hulls on this, being 100% barley. Same thought you had. I think you mash and brew will be fine and by no means ruined. Maybe a little more attenuated but that would...

{head scratching} :)

Honestly, I would consider/suggest actually trying it as it first and then fixing it if you find a problem or issue. i.e. don't fix it if it isn't broken. :) You are...

I'm curious - why the decision to go 50/50?

BTW, the mash schedule I give really gives a good attenuated ale. Actually, the toasting of 2 lbs was a direct result of how much it attenuated the...

It does have a touch of smoke flavor, but mostly I find it very low, and if my tastes are just slightly off, I can't taste it at all.

So given I DID use...

I think this falls into the 'never the twain shall meet'. I can't wrap my head around making a 'smoked' porter, and finding that 4 oz was over the top. I don't think I could even taste 4 oz. My...

I've added scotch to my ale before...but sadly (in this context) it does not even step into the same room as the peated ale.

I really can't come up with anything that would let an extract brewer...

No, you won't be able to see them toast. But you can smell them, and that is your best indicator. It's all dependent on how much you roast, but 300 F for 20 minutes in your oven will get you quite...
