That’s right. This weekend we’re making the Peanut Butter Cup Porter! I ordered the ingredients so everything is set. I’ll be running some of the new equipment I got for Christmas. I will probably use the new kettle and the new burner. And I’ll probably use Urgo’s grain mill, as it’s the same as mine. I guess I should probably install the spigot into the kettle, right?
I had to make some changes to the recipe though. I had planned on using PB2 but after a scale test I realized that PB2 won’t cut it. It just floated to the bottom of the glass. I suppose I should have boiled it to make a real actual test. Maybe I should still do that. But otherwise I bought a jar of natural peanut butter and have been draining the oil out as frequently as I can. I followed the advice from this blog. Hopefully it gives the beer good flavor without bringing a lot of the oil with it. We shall see.
I had a tough time finding the hops I needed. Ended up having to order from Grape and Granary, a site I haven’t ordered from in a long time. But they had what I needed, so they got my business this time. Hops are getting expensive. It sucks.
