Well, today is the day. I'm finally going to try to make a peanut butter ale. Here's the recipe:
7 lbs Amber LME
1 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine
1 lb Crystal 80
1/4 lb Aromatic
1/4 lb Chocolate Malt
1/4 lb Special B
1 oz East Kent Goldings
1/2 oz Willamette
1 lb Natural Peanut Butter
~1.050 OG
~15 IBUs
~24 SRM
So, I've been debating how best to add the peanut butter. I'm steeping the grains right now, and I originally planned on adding it after the steeping grains, so I could scoop out all the oil as it floated to the top. I don't really know if there's an easier or better way to do this. I don't think this is like other things, where you have to worry so much about boiling off flavor and aroma. I mean, it's a pound of peanut butter; it's not going anywhere.
Still, I have a little while before the time comes, so if anyone has any other ideas, I'd be willing to entertain them.
