Well, you know I’ve never really totally been a major fan of bacon. I know, I know… Heresy. Probably of the worse kind. At least since the internet phenomenon of bacon has taken hold. But wait before you try to burn me at the stake and make bacon from my burning flesh let me explain. Firstly I doubt  I do love bacon. I said I wasn’t a fan of bacon because you idiots here in America don’t know how to cook it, or make it. First of all it is much too thin. I think most people would agree with me. Second you burn the bacon. I should not be able to construct things with a meat product as easily as I can with linking logs. I like my bacon when I can grasp one end, pick it up, and the other end slowly sags until pointing straight down. The edges just crispy and the rest soft, warm, greasy, and wonderful. I also love Canadian Bacon, even though there’s really no such thing. Eating bacon that is so hard and crispy you can use them as drumsticks does not appeal.

Well now that I’m done with the fat I can get to the meat of the post. Making bacon! I should have your attention now. I saw this on Make and had to post about it because, well, when bacon is done right it is great. Here’s the direct link to the article on the BS Brewing blog. The blog also has a bunch of stuff about homebrewing. I shall be following this blog now it looks like a good read.
