wow, excellent comments and suggestions all!
I like this:
- Applewood chips for me
- Soaked in water for a 1/2hr
- Use only one pan of chips for enough smoke flavor (don't get carried away with the smoke)
As to "why" to rinse off the brine, I'm not sure, but I did a quick rinse. Maybe so it is not too salty?
I also have read about setting for awhile after the rinse, to set the "pelicule", all great ideas! Experiment and fine-tune, and keep experimenting. And drink very good beer along the way!
