Tailgate Beer - Peanut Butter Milk Stout

[b128thopen]

I had this beer last night and it floored me! I have to find the clone for this and can not find anything online. Anyone have a recipe?

Very good (and addictive) beer...would love to find a clone recipe for this.

I have had success using powdered peanut butter (aka PB2) with 5' left in the boil of a stout. I took a guess on the exact amount based on the amount of sugars listed on the label, and the possible gravity contribution. It was before I became better about documenting what I do, but there should be some examples with a Google search. Just use the Left Hand Milk Stout clone as your base recipe.

That is a good one to immolate, especially yummy on nitro

Wow! That's awesome. I'll give this a shot and see how it turns out. Thanks

Bought a 6-pack of these and it says the malts are "Pale, victory, chocolate, and roasted barley". Shows "Nugget" as the hops. Says abv is 5.8% with an IBU of 33. Going to see what I can come up with.

Any updates?

 

[brad2157]

I plugged in some stuff into Beersmith. Went and picked up some grains, hops, and yeast this weekend from LHBS. Busy busy schedule, but hoping to brew this week sometime and will let you know. Found some liquid PB flavoring from Brewers Best that I am going to try.

 

[brad2157]

Sorry for no updates on this yet. Just when I think I'll have time, life gets busy busy. I'll report back after things settle down and I'm able to brew this up.

 

[Amadeo38]

Those grains are gonna go stale. Wake up early one day and get er done!

 

[brad2157]

Definitely need to for sure! I put them into a vacuum sealed plastic bag as soon as I got home from the LHBS.

@brad2157 any updates on this?

 

[brad2157]

Not much yet. Took me a while to actually get a free day to brew. I have it fermenting now. My grain bill seems to be a bit off, going off of the sample I took over the weekend. Mine is more roasted coffee. We'll see how it is once it finishes fermenting, PB flavoring added, and carbonated.

*** I brewed this a couple of days after my last post, but just now getting back on to post an update***

Sorry for the crazy long delay in getting back to follow up. I brewed the following recipe that I threw together in Beersmith. I had fermentation trouble and ended up adding boiled sugar water to the fermenter to get it to ferment more (it did not seem to ferment well before this). This was my first time coming up with a recipe from scratch. I'm still newer at brewing, but figured I needed a starting point of some kind. This was also my first time brewing with lactose, so I'm not sure how much that threw off my gravity measurements. I had too much chocolate malt that gave it a bite on the front end. Peanut Butter flavor was really good and at a good level I believe. It had a really nice head on it. I plan to adjust the recipe and brew this again soon (time permitting with being on-call at work, etc..) with Will post back again with updates once I give it another go.

Also used 1lb. Of lactose in the boil @ 15 mins.

1st (not the best) attempt:

9 lbs US Pale 2-row
1.50 lbs Victory
1.25 lbs Chocolate Malt
0.75 lbs Roasted Barley

1 oz. Nugget @ 60 mins.

Safale S-05

1 bottle Brewers Best Peanut Butter flavoring into beer at bottling time.

5.5g batch into fermenter @ 68degrees

*Mashed for 60 mins @ 152 degrees*

I saw a similar PBMS recipe on the forum that called for Marris Otter as base malt. I confirmed with Tailgate that there is no Marris Otter in their recipe.

Fun fact - now that the alcohol laws have changed in Tennessee, Tailgate is brewing an Imperial PBMS that is right at 10% ABV.

Total Necro but I just had the Imperial PBMS on tap and now I have to try to clone it. @brad2157 have you refined your recipe any?
