Ready for part two of BACON BOURBON SCIENCE? It began yesterday with the mini-thread quote tweeted here, where I infused a bottle of bourbon with bacon fat.

Now we gotta get the infused bourbon back into the bottle! I have a metal sieve strainer over a mixing bowl with a lip in it and ALSO a foodsafe funnel for the bottle because I obviously do not want to waste a drop of BACON BOURBON. Probably more than I need but SCIENCE IS FUN

The fat had solidified on the top like an oleaginous hockey puck. Ran a butter knife around the edge to make sure it would hinge open and yep, it poured easily.

Here’s what I’m talking about: a puck of bacon fat that just got out of the way when I started pouring, easy to dispose of. You can see the sieve caught some large pan dripping thingies. BACON FLOTSAM. Now we can go from bowl to bottle!

I noticed, however, that there was still a significant amount of BACON FLOTSAM in there, and I don’t want that in the drinks I’ll be making later, so I cut down a coffee filter to catch it and put it in the funnel.

I love making pour-over coffee every morning and I gotta say making pour-over BACON BOURBON is also super satisfying
