I "baconized"  my beer today. 2 weeks in the primary was a little longer than I had planned but I got busy. I think it will work out ok since I know that the grease is less likely to mess with the yeasties since they've had a little extra time. I baked the bacon and blotted it on a paper towel as suggested above. I went with a full pound of hardwood smoked, sugar cured bacon. Now I just wait...planning on letting that sit for a week.

I'm bottling my beer today. I put the beer into my deep freeze for a couple of hours to congeal the bacon grease. I haven't tasted it yet.

The fat congealing is a great idea.  We all look forward to your critique of the flavor, unless you want to send us a bottle and we'll critique with you.
Enjoy the weekend!
