Just a couple of questions on the PB porter:
1. 10 min on the PB2 boil - how much did you lose after cooling and in the boiling pot bottom? Or did you take it all into the fermenter?
2. Cocoa nibs: into the boil at then end before cooling or into primary?

What is the PB2 ingredient? Is it peanut butter powder? How long did the beer mature before packaging it?

swartzad, I really want to make this recipe you posted. Any other recommendations or tips? Was the 2lbs of PB2 enough and how many containers is 2lbs? Thanks a lot!

I would say the 2lbs was just right (for me anyways). I'm actually having one right now. Starts out with some bitterness and you get a lot of PB in the finish. I did my first batch with 1 lb, and that definitely wasn't enough. 2lbs should be 2 of the vacuum sealed bags worth.
Also, I would increase your boil by at least a gallon. The PB2 will settle and leave a gallons worth of trub on top of what you'd usually have.
Maybe play with the yeast? I liked the London Ale, but it did give a sweeter finish.
Let me know what you come up with. This has been a huge hit, but I'm always open for suggestions. Happy Brewing!

Has anyone tried to come up with a Seef Bier recipe like Johan Van Dyck's from Antwerp? I ran across this interesting article and would dearly love to try it;
