I am making a Scottish Ale and the recipe calls for "Upon racking, add 1/2 lb baked walnuts (350° for 30 minutes) to give it a strong nutty finish".
Can I use a bag of walnuts already taken out fo the shell (like Planters) and bake them myself? Or buy a pound of walnuts in their shells and crack them open myself? Then hope I get at least .5 lb of walnut meat and then bake?
I figure if the walnuts are not salted, then Planters might be the way to go.
Has anyone else used walnuts before?
Thnx,
Michael
