brewing with peanuts/peanut butter

[bone diggler]

I want to try an experimental brew, a peanut buttercup porter. I was wondering if anyone has used peanuts or peanut better in a beer. Any experiences out there? Advice would be great!

did you just throw nuts into mash? or did you grind them in some way?

I would suggest Powdered Peanut Butter. ChrisKennedy did a chocolate peanut butter beer a while back and had pretty good results. Seems to be the easiest way to get nuts in your beer.

That's not the way that JP gets nuts in his beer....

But I think BadRock's suggestion might be a little more reliable. JP's method involves loitering around in a men's room, and usually doesn't end well...

Has anyone used the powdered PB? If so, how much did you use for 5 gal., and who wants to split a 4 pack of it with me if you don't need more than one jar?

I brewed a chocolate peanut butter porter last year. Basically a Young's Double Chocolate Stout recipe from BYO, with a jar of organic peanut butter (de-oiled) thrown in. I'll never do that again. Very little PB taste, although there was some PB bitterness there. Just a bad idea IMHO, unless you really like sweet stouts. A keg full was too much for me. Might be better with other types of PB.
