Smoke them over wood, that is.
I want to make a home-smoked ale, but I don't have a mill, and crush 5+lbs of grain with a roller is a pain in the ass. I've read in some places that you should smoke the grains whole before you crush them...but why? Does anyone know if grains must be smoked whole, and the reason for it? What would be the disadvantages of smoking them crushed? I have screens that are fine enough to hold the crushed grain in the smoker.
Thanks,
