Tasted it again tonight, gonna bottle (finally) but this is pretty nice. The base stout will probably be a keeper on its own. The peaches have mellowed, making it refreshing actually.

My one issue is it lacks body. I made it once, enjoyed it alright, I think some, perhaps .25 lb/ .5 lb carapils or caramunich would be quite nice in it.

I like doing 1 gallon batches for smash beers to get a feel for a hop I haven't used before. Or if I have a really stupid idea that I wanna try. Example, right now I feel like **** due to a cold. I think I'm gonna make something hearty like a brown ale with beef/ bouilion cubes because, it's...

Also might rack a gallon off, bourbon soaked oak with it. Probably use Fighting Cock (my favorite rot-gut) I blame high school. Still "Peaches & Cock" is a great name.

Alright, sorry I haven't said anything for a while. Here's the updates. While brewing this it wanted to boil over almost every 10 minutes, so I had to keep watch on it. The OG ended up being 1.065. That night the airlock launched of of the fermenter, but I caught it pretty with in a few hours...

Just brewed it, got an OG of 1.065 so a little higher cool. This batch had a little boil over but still came out about perfect. I am gonna put peaches in secondary along with 2 vanilla beans.

Oh... you are right. I must not have paid attention when I was writing it. For all specialty grains it should be fractions of a pound, not of an ounce.

Could you please write down the paragraph or whatever. This sounds full on banana sandwiches.

I was hoping the biscuity would almost give it something like a cobbler kinda taste/feel. Really everything on this stout is going to be an experiment. 1 week til brew day.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I think this will be brewed within the next couple of weeks. Then I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

I have been brewing for over a year, making my own recipes, with pretty decent success. A friend of mine wants to get in to brewing and I said, lets make something fun. After much drinking and deliberation, peaches and cream stout. 5 gal batch, 5 gal boil, 60 min boil OG: 1.062...
