Chocolate peanut butter stout round two!

[SciencePig]

All grain. I'll post the recipe ASAP. I used a list from allaboutduncan.com. From the samples and the readings it's already better than my first.

Starting gravity 1.06. After three consecutive readings of 1.02 it's done. I'm moving to secondary tonight. Will post pics and recipe later tonight.

Waiting.... Have been wanting to try something like this for a while, but haven't found a recipe I've trusted to put the time and money into. Let us know how it turns out.

Where can i find powdered peanut butter? this is something i gotta try

 

[worlddivides]

This sounds delicious. I was wondering how on earth you could make this. The powdered peanut butter sounds like it could work, but I never even knew that powdered peanut butter exists. Does it turn into normal peanut butter when you add water or is it more like maltodextrin or the powdered lactose used in beer?

You can buy it at most grocery stores, amazon, or bell plantation directly.

The pb2 is supposed to be a "normal" peanut butter when mixed with water. When adding in to secondary (just powder no water) it cakes at the bottom. Very annoying to clean IMO.

Just mix warm water in. Gets mine out easily

Midwestsupplies sells a kit similar to this. They call it Chocolate Covered Beavr Nutz. Yes, Beavr is spelled wrong.

Doing the extract version of it right now. I got the peanut butter powder, PB2, off of ebay.

One thing I definitely recommend is let the secondary site a minimum of three weeks. The longer it sits the better the PB flavor will be. After letting a pint warm up the PB taste is stronger at the finish. The roasty malt flavor is a great compliment to this beer.

Number40fan, you're correct. That is where I purchased my first round of this beer. Both were all grain brews for me. I've got a buddy about to brew a extract of the same. We bought local this time saved about 10$. What did the pb2 run you on ebay?

$15 for two of the 6.5 jars. Couldn't find it anywhere around here.

 

[SciencePig]

That's not much than what I pay. 6$ a jar with tax so that's about on par, for me at least.

Sounds like this recipe turned out awesome. Thanks for the post! I've been looking for similar recipes and would like to try this one.

Your specialty grains tho -- looks like less than an ounce of each. Is that a typo?

Also, Amazon sells two big 1lb packs of pb2, and you can mix/match between powdered PB and cocoa powder. If you have prime, it's a pretty sweet deal. They've also got some good deals on other beer ingredients like Vanilla beans, which might go well in a choco/pb stout

This will be my next recipe, thanks for posting.
