I think the 'nuts' is a bit of a misnomer. If Wikipedia is truthful this cereal got its name from its appearance rather then having anything to do with nuts or grapes.
That aside, I bottled the above recipe this morning. With a final gravity of 1.016 I am sitting just a hair below 6% ABV. I am not sure if the mash temperature or the grapenuts prevented it from getting any lower (I was hoping for 1.012), but it is what it is. I am going to give it a couple weeks in bottles before trying one.
I did a small sample taste and right now it leaves a lot to be desired... But so did my last batch which ended up being the best to date. Here is hoping!
