I have been being HOUNDED by my friend to try to develop a bacon beer. And I have been trying to research this "holy grail" of delicious. Seems like the consensus is to just make a rauchbier. I want to go more authentic though, and have been trying to think of ways to do this. My thoughts are to bake the bacon in a pan in the oven, and have some sort of grain, or even oak chips in their with it. I could then take all the bacon, and grease, and soak them together. (kind of like you would soak oak chips in bourbon). Then, I could either steep the grains I used prior to my boil, or just use the cubes in a secondary. This may not work, but I'm just trying to come up with some fresh ideas! Input would be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, I know they have bacon vodka. Could I soak oak cubes in that? and then use those in a secondary?
