Ok...let me first say that I am pretty new to brewing and have never made up any batches with anything other than LME...although I am going to give all grain a try pretty soon. But I had an idea today and wanted to run it by you guys to see if you'd think it might work.
I like to BBQ a lot and have a pit smoker that I throw a lot of stuff into. All kinds of meats and lately more veggies. Well, last weekend I smoked some corn on the cob....and my thoughts immediately went to beer brewing and barley. So...
Do you guys think it might be possible to smoke malt? And, what effect would that have on the flavoring of a final batch? My thinking is that it's obviously common to roast barley, why not a little smoke too?
Again, just off the wall but was just curious to hear what your thoughts on something like that would be.
