Denny,
 Thanks. I have a question. Visited a local brewery. Had a wonderful Peanut Butter Porter. I ask the person working at the brewery how they got the peanut butter taste into the beer. I mention I didn't believe normal sandwich peanut butter was used as this type of peanut butter is oily. I get a blank stare and then "I don't know".

Any idea how to get a peanut butter flavor/aroma into a brew similar to what I describe with the Peanut Butter Porter?

Thanks.

A few in my homebrew club have done this, either by using peanut butter flavoring or PB2. PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that has most of the fat removed.

How could Drew spend 40+ minutes talking about corn without someone mentioning Sugar Creek also malts the superior adjunct (rice)? Great episode though.

Where is the price of malt going to end up after the bad crop year? Heard anything.

Have either of you tasted a beer made with Zappa hops, or brewed with those. Very strong flavors, my standard single  hop IPA addition schedule resulted in an almost undrinkable beer. A light hand is needed I think.

My question: why do people make peanut butter beers.

Why do people make any novelty beers?

Because people like me enjoy them.

That simply can't be the answer!

My question: why do people make peanut butter beers.

Because someone wants to buy it.

You would use PB extract.

I’m with brewthru, a well made Peanut Butter Porter can be sublime.

And it’s ok, you can all admit it.  Everyone knows it’s true.

Hahahaha ... thew actual correct answer.

Seriously, I'm just messing around. everyone should drink what they want to drink. I don't care for novelty beers, personally. They are great for about 2 oz but I don't care for more than that. But that's just me. I don't expect everyone to have pristine taste.

In our book Experimental Homebrewing there us a recipe for a peanut butter beer using PB2, a powdered peanut butter. That would be the way to go IMO.

THIS.  No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the public.
