So I should cancel the nacho-beer?

Yeah.....but go ahead with the dill pickle beer.....

Here's an idea if you want to try another go at this...

Nice creativity. I would have a hard psychological time drinking it if I brewed it looks like the next day after a rough night drinking and eating taco bell.

Your creativity has inspired me to finally try my pica beer. Now i need to find some good red clay...

I made a beer with Reese's Puffs cereal. It came out pretty decent. My neighbor then made a chocolate peanut butter beer using cocoa nibs and pb extract. That was decent too.

I don't think I believe you... did you really make beer from that Reese's Puff cereal? Or is that sarcasm?

This post made my day!

In college, my room mate and i fermented whatever we could get our hands on and decided to make chocolate liquor with hot cocoa mix....just the smell was enough to make us hurl. Turns out, milk doesn't like to be fermented...which is probably part of your bad flavors since you used nestle morsels.

I just made a chocolate pumpkin porter and added bakers chocolate, which is just solid chocolate liquor, to the secondary. After it settled and conditioned, it was pretty good. (Initial beer prior to bottling was awesome)

Reminds me of that Kimchi porter I've been working on... blech.

Thanks for the notes and pictures, this will be in my brain forever!!

Unfortunately!! Imagine something that might make me stop liking beer.... Aack.. Something you can't easily unsee.

I suppose it could be worse, though... don't need to ruin more foods by thinking of bad combinations.

I would try pb2. It's powdered peanut butter with most of the fat removed.

Seriously, we had a Iron Brewer competition in our club. That was the ingredient I was given. I put four ounces in the mash and soaked some in vodka and added it to the finished beer to adjust the flavor.

Unfortunately, I am not a fan of peanut butter. So I didn't care for the beer. But my neighbors liked it.

PB2 is a good substitute. It's expensive, but it keeps you from having to give up 10+ days de-oiling the peanut butter on your own. here's a link. They also have a Chocolate Peanut Butter. Though they are currently out of stock. http://www.bellplantation.com/products/pb2-powdered-peanut-butter/4-pack-pb2-powdered-peanut-butter.html

Hope your next try turns out better.

Forgot to mention...the shipping is expensive! $15+ UPS Ground

I ordered a jar on amazon, if you added it onto an order over $25 you get free shipping or something. I'm planning to make a chocolate porter & add this. Planning to use the Choconut Porter recipe that's on here, less the nut extract. Also only doing 2.5g of it for a test!
