I plan on mashing high to conserve body. I planned on 2 secondary stages, first for fruit, then for spices and aroma hops. Then maybe a tertiary for clearing...

I wanted a biscuity, fruity, little spicey, little buttery, little hoppy...you know....Peach cobbler ale.

I would love some input on it, be brutal if necessary!

How did it turn out? I am thinking of brewing a peach cobbler ale using Vienna malt with cinnamon and vanilla bean in the boil.

Hey there!

Well i made some changes as i brewed and i ended up with an amazing beer and i will be doing it again soon. So here are the modifications i made on the fly.

The ingredients were brewed as posted, with the exception of the butterscotch candies, which i nixed on brew day. So i followed through with fermenting and a couple weeks in i found that maybe my IBUs were high, or my mash was a bit low....but it ended up a bit sour, so after consideration i switched gears and went a new direction.
Hoppy Peach Ale!
After fruit additions in the secondary, i did a tertiary on some Mosaic hops, which i find really lends itself to stone fruit. I served it on tap at a party and it was floated in no time. Really tasty!

If i wanted to keep it true to the original idea i would use a malt forward yeast like WLP011, increase the cinnamon, mash at like 155, use more biscuit malt and cut the bittering hops by half.

Hope this helps! Let me know how yours ends up!
