#Wine homebrew buttery update#

I will update the site with tasting notes when ready to see if the whole jar was a mistake. From what IвЂ™ve read using peanut butter provides a subtle flavour that fades with age. I added pretty much the whole jar at the end of the boil!. I did notice however the peanut powder settles out into a goop at the bottom of the brew pot fairly easily, I tried to get as much as I could into suspension and therefore into the fermenter to maximise the flavour of this addition. I have chosen the last minute of the boil, this was in the hope that it will retain as much of the nuttiness as possible and avoid any contamination by adding it into boiling wort. Now the crucial decision is when to add it to the beer to get the best results. When To Get The Peanut Butter Into The Beer? I found powdered peanut butter in ASDA so it must be gaining some popularity here in the UK. Using this powder we can add peanuts to the beer at any point we choose without introducing a lot of oil, the whole thing is much simpler and less messy. Essentially powdered peanut butter is just roasted peanuts with the oil squeezed out of them. Powdered peanut butter contain just 13 grams of fat per 100 grams which is a much better starting point to regular peanut butter. The only option in my view is to find some powdered peanut butter. You get yourself some organic peanut butter which seems to separate itself fairly easily, wait for oil to pool to the surface and tip it away, repeat this process a dozen times over several weeks until you get a dry and dry peanut butter. This desire to get peanut butter into a beer without the whole batch turning into a mess of beer, oil and peanuts has led home brewers to fairly laborious lengths of de-oiling peanut butter.Дeoiling peanut butter is a process that can take weeks or even months. Oil and water (or beer in our case) donвЂ™t really mix all that well. The problem with peanut butter as a beer ingredient is the fact that most peanut butters are around 50% fat, not only do peanuts contain a fair amount of fat content but peanut butters are made with oil.

In this case, I think the peanut butter really will work well alongside the roasted, toffee and chocolate notes of a porter. I do make an exception though when I think the addition of an ingredient will lift a beer and complement it. I have talked about adding fruits before and spices and these additions work great in any beer.

Ordinarily, I am not a massive fan of adding all sorts of ingredients to a beer just for the sake of it.
