Just began a peanut butter and jelly beer. It's sitting in the primary as we speak, and I'm pretty nervous about how it's going to turn out. I would never have attempted such a seemingly ridiculous flavor profile for beer if my boyfriend hadn't been begging me to do it since I began brewing last fall. It's my first non-kit "my-own-recipe" beer as well, so this should be interesting.
I do have some questions about others who have used PB2 to brew their own peanut butter beers. I used the powder in my primary, but am planning to add some to my secondary. what is the best way to do this? I read about using vodka to soak into the Pb2, but does this detract from the beer's flavor? is it "stirred in" to the secondary? When adding it to the end of my boil, the PB2 (which I had reconstituted with some warm water prior to adding to the boil) separated into small chunks at the top of the pot, and I'm worried about this happening if I add it to the secondary because I don't have the benefit of the heat of the boil to help dissolve the pb2 powder. My plan is to, along with adding PB2 to the secondary, rack it on top of raspberries. Any suggestions?
