I noticed this beer uses alot of citra per addition. How much different would it be if i did less per addition but boiled them longer. It just seems a little waistful since the first addition isnt until 15 minutes.

I find that HomeBrew Calculator and Brewzor calculator are great apps for the phone. They help calculate ABV through temperature adjusted calculations, strike temp, priming, and have timers. As for an actualy app to build recipes I would agree with what other people have said in that a phone is...

I live how clean S-05 has been in my last few brews. One thing i found with this recipe is it takes about 4weeks fir the corn taste to settle out. I love this as my after work chill beer.

Cant wait to hear your results. My next attempt i plan on brewing this by adding the PB2 at flame out. I dont want to boil the pb because i dont want any extra bitter. Ill probably do one jar at flame out then the full 13 at secondary

Bottle for about a week now

Again to everyone saying the peanut butter is mild. You really need to give this beer a good 3-4 months. Everything is overpowered at first by the roastyness and cocoa. I do plan on brewing this with the chocolate pb2 next year just to see how it comes out. Ill deffinatly cut out the cocoa...

Just an update on my first attempt. The first pick was much hazier then it is now. Fir reference i kegged this at 2 weeks originally. Definitly needs at least 3 ill go 4 next time though

I am brewing this again this weekend. I will say that after sitting in the keg for another week it has cleared up significantly since my gravity defying picture earlier lol. This time I will use the right amount of hops as the extra bitter doesnt work with such a light tasting beer in my opinion.

When i bottle i use a spigot bucket with priming sugar. I do plan on trying to keg carb and bottle but i just dont see a need for it except to take brew to a party. Like i said i try to bottle specialty beers that have comllex flavors. Also for those that need a reminder. Bleach works...

The peanut butter is going to be the last thing you taste. Once the cocao and roastyness settles it should be more pronounced. Im againg mine in a carboy to help settle the cocao.

When i brew this again i will try a 30 minute boil.and just mash my oats. At 30 min it should deffinatly have more body and a lighter color.

Here is a pic of my first attemot.

So i brewed this in doors on friday. Mashed at 152 for 1 hour. Missed my temp oh well. After sparging i was at 5.5 gallons so i missed my volumes. After an hour boil i was at 4.5 so i topped it off to 5 gallons and pitched my S-05 at 75F. Its happily perking hand smells great. I think i may try...

Sorry for the drunken ramble. What I meant to say is i want to cut the corn in half and replace with some crystal 10 and maybe some carapils for just a tiny bit more body. Other then that its a great brew to drink after you have had a few good beers and cant taste anything lol

I knoq i shoukd nit say this but next time im goinf ti cuttm sone corn and add som crystak tm10 . Drunk bt the way

I have also been wondering about brands. I kniw hops can vary deoending on where there grown but i have heard that todays malts are so robust and engineered that it wont matter.

Heres a little advice... once you pitch your yeast and close the fermenting bucket, do not touch it for at least 2 weeks. The "sludge you are seeing will stick to the sides as the krausen settles and anything else will precipitate to the bottkm with the rest of the trub.

Thanks. Im going with S05. Really excited to do this today. Ill post my notes after

I used straight clorox bleach in my worst bottle. HOLY WOW they look brand new. Only issue is i could smell a little bleach after bottle jetting. My next test is to see what the maximum dilution of bleach in water is effective. All i know is it looks like im set on bottles for a while.

Ok so today is brew day. Im going with nilo's #6. Im just undecided on whether to use S-04, S-05, or 1056. Also I am boiling my oats. Should I put them in a musling bag or directly in the wort?
