Next brew I'm planning on making a 5gal batch of a basic porter, then splitting it into 3 smaller vessels for secondary and adding a different flavor to each of them.
Container 1 - Rack onto cold pressed coffee
Container 2 - Rack onto Cacao nibs or bourbon smoked oak chips
Container 3 - Need your help!
I want to add a smokey flavor to the beer. Originally I was going to include a small amount of steeped peat smoke malt in the wort right at the start (I know there's mixed feelings about peat smoked...but I love strong peat flavor in whiskey). I've since decided I don't want the smokey flavor in all 3 containers.
What would be the best way to add a smokey flavor in secondary? I don't want to use liquid smoke.
Could I fill a hopsack with peat smoked malt and add it to secondary? Should I steep the grains and add the liquid to secondary?
