I kegged mine. Tasted really good after 2 weeks. As of yesterday the PB flavor has mellowed greatly. IMO it was the best around that 2 to 3 week period.

The wife wants me to try to make a Franziskaner Hefe. I see NB has a popular Hefe kit and I see Austins has a Franzi kit. Anyone else have a recommendation as to what kit I should try?

I have not tried it without the cereal. Others have said that with using 2 6.5oz jars of the PB2 that some did not taste enough peanut butter flavoring so that's why I added the Captain Crunch. I can tell you that as time goes by the flavor has mellowed.

We will see what happens , just brewed a Belgian Dubbel and used the Wyeast 1214 that arrived frozen in another kit from NB.

I put water with Star San in the bottom of the bucket. I will toss it then.

So any reason to keep whatever is settled on the bottom of the bucket I used for my blow off? Is this yeast or krauzen?

Once the pack swells , how long can you keep it for before using? Should I put it back in the fridge?

Received my kit today from NB and sure enough the Wyeast and LME were both frozen solid. I am not worried about the LME but the Wyeast smack pack. I waited for it thaw out and smacked it. It has been sitting for 4 or 5 hours and the package is not "swelling". I called NB and they said wait a...

US-05 Dry yeast

Thanks all, I just opened the lid to take a reading and sure enough it has fallen. My SG was 1.062 and is now reading 1.020 after a week(Peanut Butter Stout). iBrewmaster 2 is telling me I should be at 1.015 FG. I am gonna wait a few more days then off to the carboy to add my PB2(dry peanut butter)

So this is only my third brew. The krauzen is so thick on top, should I "skim" it off the top before I go to secondary?

Brewed something close to the original recipe last night but got crazy and added 1/2 box of Captain Crunch peanut butter cereal to the grains while steeping. I also added 4oz of Lactose and a pound of Dark DME and 6 pounds of dark LME. I was going to add 8oz of lactose but I do not know if the...

Thoughts on adding Lactose and/or also Cocao Nibs?

Anyone try using the PB2 with chocolate and should I stick to the regular PB2
