PB&J Stout

[mullimat]

Found some Peanut Butter flavoring at my LHBS and figured I would use it as I LOVE peanut butter (who doesn't?). I've had chocolate peanut butter stouts before and have not been too impressed yet so thought I would try a PB&J Stout. I just put together this recipe today. My intent was to have some bread flavors in there along with the peanut butter and strawberry (not to keen on grape in a stout) flavors. So here is the recipe I will be brewing in a week or two. What do you all think?

that sounds awesome, I have been looking to make a similar beer. I have a few questions for you,

why did you choose to add roasted malt?

and why did you choose to add the peanut butter at bottling?

I have no idea how to get the best flavoring from the peanut butter so i am curious

I just did a Pb porter a few weeks ago. I used a jar of pb2 in the boil and half pound lactose, then a jar plus 4oz cocoa nibs in secondary. I'll share my results when I have them and I would like to hear yours to compare.

I added the roasted barley really more for color than anything. And I decided to add the peanut butter at kegging because that's how I've usually added flavoring to a lot of my beers in the past when I want more flavor to come out. I have a chocolate raspberry stout recipe that I add the raspberry in at kegging. I guess you could add the peanut butter at the end of the boil. Not sure how much of a difference this would make. Any ideas if it would be better to add at the end of the boil or kegging?
