I've been looking at a few recipes, particularly this one that calls for smoked wheat. I haven't seen or heard of smoked extract commercially available and haven't read anyone attempting to smoke extract. So, has anyone tried it?
I've read a few threads about people boiling over an open camp fire and their beer getting smoke flavor. But oak smoking malt is different than getting campfire smoke flavors. So what about smoking extract before using it in beer? Seems plausible. Would the pre-boil heat denature the extract in anyway? Seems simple enough that I'm probably overlooking something.
