Brewing with Peanuts

[hopgoddess]

Has anyone brewed with peanuts (not butter or powder)? Not sure if I should roast and put in the mash tun or in the boil.

Might be too oily for the brew

I'm sure the oils will damage head retention, but it's been done successfully before:

Any fats cause loss of any head retention.

That recipe looks good. Ever tasted PB beer??

I would add wheat to this and possibly shelfish. Is there a way to brew a peanut wheat oyster stout?!?

I would call this beer Anaphylaxis.

Caution: this beer had been brewed in a facility that also processes nuts and shellfish.

We brewed a pecan porter and double toasted the pecans (put in paper sack to absorb oils) and still had ample head retention. I thought I heard that adding wheat could help with oil absorbency.

I thought I remembered hearing that wheat could help with oil absorbency, but can't remember the ratio. I think I'll work the shellfish into the next batch.
