anyone have know anything about maple bacon ale?

I was trying to figure out when to add the Bacon and how long should it dry hop?

 

I'd be curious to know how you add bacon without letting a lot of head-killing oils and fats into your beer.

 

From what I know is you put a wire rack over a cookie sheet and bake the Bacon letting all fat drip off and cook it till its over done but not burnt. Then 1 day prior to bottling dry hop the Bacon in your grain sock. But can't believe everything you see or hear on the net, I was looking for a second opinion or someone who has tried with good results.

 

I know you can get bacon flavored vodka by cooking the bacon over a cookie sheet, then pour the grease into Vodka. Let it marinate there for a few days or a week, then freeze the mixture. Bacon grease sits on top and vodka won't freeze. Decant vodka and re-freeze and decant until you're confident you got all the grease & bits out.
Don't ask me how this will taste in beer, but it makes a bitchin Bloody Mary!

 

I bet LOL

 

You could just autolyze some yeast to get some meaty flavor in your beer
