I don't have any experience using pistachios in beer...or any other nuts. I'm a huge fan of pecans and pistachios though....I'm very interested to hear how this turns out.

I'm in!

I checked the bottom of my pot and I did find some caramelization from a previous boil. I'll make sure I get that cleaned up before my next batch...otherwise I won't worry about it. Thanks for the feedback!
