Bringing Sour Back
SWMBO wants a "peanut butter porter". I couldn't quite find a tried-and-true recipe for a peanut butter porter/stout without chocolate so I had to come up with my own.
Oats are intended to help simulate a mouthfeel more along the lines of peanut butter.
I'm using added flavoring rather than messing around with peanuts/ peanut butter/ PB2/ Cap'n Crunch.
Couple things:
1. This will be my first time using my 10-gal igloo mash tun (with a 12" mash screen and 1/2" fittings). Batch sparge. I am concerned about the use of oats -- I'm thinking I need a beta-glucan rest. Better safe than sorry? Does the rest actually reduce the benefit of using oats to achieve a silky mouthfeel?
2. I'm not convinced the lactose is necessary, would you use it in this beer?
3. Everything else look OK?
Thanks!
Edit: I found this on Reddit. I think it's fairly close to my bill.
