Hi all, been a long time since I've been in the forums here or brewed (nursing school is not particularly time friendly, especially when you have to work to pay bills). I am going to be brewing tomorrow and wanted to check in to see if anyone had any tips or tricks for this brew. I am used to all-grain, but as I said, time is of the essence with finals breathing down my neck. I have a big jug of amber LME that I got for a song and was primarily going to be using that for this brew. Below is the bill, please let me know if you've done something like this (trying to somewhat replicate Duclaw's Sweet Baby Jesus), and what has gone wrong or right with a similar beer. Thanks in advance!
12# Amber LME
1# Chocolate malt (steeped)
1 oz Belma (9.80% AA) @ 45 min
whirlfloc @15
6 oz of PB2 powder @ flameout
1 oz cacao nibs @ flameout
Good, clean US-05 2L starter
10 oz PB2 powder @ 7 days into primary
1 oz cocoa powder @ 7 days into primary
Bottle at 28 days (long primary, no secondary)
I've never used this PB2 powder before but unlike the original recipe from Duclaw, I don't want to use the artificial flavors since nobody that I will be serving this to will be allergic to peanuts. I bought the pound jar of PB2 and have seen from other recipes that less during brewing and more during fermentation will result in more pronounced flavor. Thanks again for anyone that can help me out with this recipe and I will continue to update so that anyone else following a similar route has some sort of reference.
