bourbon soaked wood chips

[Brewmex41]

I took a mason jar and filled it with some oak chips then filled it the rest of the way with some bourbon.
I'm curious if anyone has tried using dried out chips that had been soaking in bourbon to smoke some of their grains?

I recently used oak chips and soaked them with just enough scotch to absorb it all. It turned out awesome after throwing in a hop bag in secondary for a week.

I've never tried this, or heard anyone doing it. Just thinking about it, I would think any bourbon flavor would get overpowered by the smoke during the smoking process. If you are looking for the bourbon flavor in your final beer, I think adding fresh bourbon soaked oak to secondary would be the way to go. You never know though, you could experiment with your idea and see how it turns out...that's the fun of homebrew!

Might work..

I use this stuff for grilling, and it infuses food with an excellent flavor. I imagine it would also work great for smoking grain.

Yeah, that was kind of my thought process.
