These are great suggestions thanks. I wasn't really aiming for peanut butter ale, but rathers just peanuts. But, I don't think it really matters. Would it be better for a porter or maybe a brown ale? The smells and taste of fresh peanuts is great and I've always wanted to add that to beer.

I'm thinking about doing a Peanut Ale for my next brew. Where should I start in trying to develop this type of recipe?

But I did exactly what the instructions say. It said this takes 6 weeks.

I just tried my first ever batch and I have this problem. It looks and smells like an IPA (I brewed an IPA) but it is not as bitter as I would like. Should I let it sit longer? I just tried it after I bottled it 2 weeks ago. What should I do? Let it sit longer?

That is so aweome.

Can you only do bareel aged brews in all grain brewing or can you do it with an extract kit?

Like milk jugs? How will it be ok with just screw on tops?

Ferment in the jugs? Deetz on how to do this?

Oh I've got that book and had to re-read bottling a couple of times! I cleaned them then santized so now they are sitting for two weeks then it will be time to give them a taste. I'm actually planning on aging 3 of them, 1 for one month, 1 for 3 months and 1 for 6 months to see how they age...

So, I got the rest of the bottles I needed but now I need to sanitize them all. How will I sanitize 50 bottles?

I'm in south Georgia dang it! I think I got a place to get all my bottles. I work for a restaurant and will see if I can use the bottles people throw away. I think I should be able get the rest of them from there. Thanks for all the suggestions everybody!

I brewed on December 28, so tomorrow would be 3 weeks since brew day. I guess I do need to let it sit more anyway.

Haha that would be great! I wish I did too

So no to the cork bottles and screw ons?

...have enough bottles for my 5 gallon batch! I bought some 8 1-Liter twist off beer bottles, but my Northern Brewer instructions say not to use twist off bottles What do i do? I have about 15 or so regular beer bottles but that's not near enough What do I do? Can I put them in cork...
