Love how each video is complete and not waiting for another update

Give a couple of those bottles a couple months to mature, then give them a taste. I can virtually guarantee you that it will be a better experience and you may find some of the mouthfeel you are looking for. My beermaking experiences have led me to not drink it til after about a month of bottle conditioning, being that most of my beers are made almost exactly the same way as your process. As you say, time heals all brews, but in beer's case, Time brings it all together.

I'm with you on that one definitely at least a month

Sweet Baby Jesus is the best peanut butter porter I've ever had from a commercial brewer. DuClaw knows their stuff.

I finally made this beer. This is amazing. Such a great taste and easy to do. Please do more simple beer recipes. Thank you for all you do. I have learned a lot.

I absolutely love you guys. I've been getting into making my own beverages for about a year now and y'all have quickly become one of my go-to's for information, guides, and entertainment. I view this hobby as a creative outlet and it, and through extension, you guys, have helped me both get through some tough times and enjoy some good drinks. Thank you for having such an impact on my, and many others', lives!

Coffee Porter is always one of my favorites.

I LOVE brewing porters. Finally found my favorite recipe. Now you need to do a porter based braggot!!!

One of my favorite beers I’ve made is an imperial peanut butter porter. Amazing style. Ours came out to ~12.5% ABV and got better with age! Cheers!

I just tasted my 1st peanut butter porter, using this as guidance. WOW, just WOW. I put an extra few grams of hops in ,but otherwise followed instructions. Fantastic. Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you! Love all of your videos too btw

Love what you folks do! I've watched a bunch of your videos now and you've really given me the confidence boost I think I needed to start home brewing, so thanks! NW native, here, so shout out to Willamette hops! I'm DEFINITELY making this once I've got my setup going. Thanks again!!

Yup...

I just recently made this recipe and within 4 days of opening the first bottle im down to my last one (I tried the first bottle with a small group of friends as a tasting and now they can't get enough!)! I'm already planning my next batch this weekend and i have a feeling ill be making this one very often! The only thing I did differently than the video is I added 1.75oz of white sugar to a gallon for carbonation purposes. It gave it a spectacularly silky and creamy head that maintains a slight presence all the way to the end. Simply fantastic if you like dark beer and a simple process! 10/10!!

Thanks guys, I need to try this! I reckon the same recipe in a UK gallon with the extra space taken up with a light syrup made with a couple ounces of espresso, a pinch of cacao and some lactose would knock the mouthfeel and richness up to the next level.

As an old Englishman I like less carbonation and love Ales as opposed to Lager styles drinking it not too cold and fizzy. You both provide informative and entertaining content.Well done!

I made a double batch before Christmas for my elderly auntie, forgot to double the peanut butter extract....my auntie loved it anyway and wants more. I'm not a drinker at all, but I like this stuff too. Just ordered more ingredients for a proper double batch. I get half this time!!! 😜. Thanks for the video guys, your amazing!

Welcome back turbos!

Bottled my Peanut butter porter tonight. OG1.063 FG 1.020 so 5.8%. 2 gal got me 16 12oz bottles and a 32oz growler. Used 4 oz of Brewers Best flavoring. Added white sugar to carb to 2.1 vol. Now letting it sit till Memorial day. Taste good now. Thanks for the recipes and vids.

Hey Brian & Derica. My pb porter ended up around the 1.016 mark, can't remember now, don't take as many notes as you guys do lol, Started at 1.046 for memory so around 4 ish % and a bit extra with bottle conditioning so sitting around the 4.6% mark I was going to add lactose but when I saw the high finishing gravity I held off. It worked out pretty good, I still have about 15 bottles left plus one in the fridge. Next time I'm going to do pretty much what you've done in this video because mine doesn't have a huge punch of peanut butter, I used 500gm of peanut butter powder and carefully mixed it in while racking into secondary, im not displeased with it but after seeing your reaction to using the concentrate I want to give that a go, I might do a 10lt batch next time with some dark dme and Willamette hops. Cheers guys!! 🍻🍻

Ooh try East Kent goldings hops with meads and braggots they realy work well with honey

Never had a peanut butter beer. Must try one day.

I've always wanted to distill mead and use that to make a fortified mead

Recently made 5 gallon stout and added fresh sweet popcorn in secondary it's given it a lovely buttery toasty flavour

I do a similar folding method always trying to press out the air in the process also. Acids for wines, Calcium of wines Tannins, same thing.

I have tried 2 different Penut Butter beears and didn't like either one that much. However, I used PB2 dried Peanut Butter Powder. If I try another I will look for this.

You've done the peanut porter now. Now a peanut butter and jelly porter.

I just did a Braggot using a really dark Buckwheat Honey and a Cream Ale grain bill, it also took awhile to carbonate, after two weeks they also had just been slightly carbed. Let them sit in your "Bomb Shelter" for a month or two and they will carbonate plenty...then chill. Its only going to get better with age, just like a mead.....!!! 😃😃😃

It’s update time! Lol the apple cider/wine that I started has cleared up and is sitting at 1.020 from the original 1.146 (estimate since I didn’t have my hydrometer then but I used your estimations of how much gravity sugar adds.) I added way too much sugar and didn’t think it would work out with the bread yeast but apparently it did, I’m gonna rack it tomorrow and give it a taste.

Do the brewers best extracts have any fermentable sugars in them. Is it something to account for in bottle carbing? Is it safe to use them in primary or better to just use in conditioning phase?

Put it on nitro for the. Creamy body? Nevermind you said it right after I commented. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, I always follow your recipes to the T. My question is, can I add more sugar, to bring the alcohol content to a higher level, or is adding more malt the only option? I was going to use a higher tolerant yeast along with the increase sugar content. How much sugar did you use for carbonization? Thank you

I don't make much beer at all. I've made two IPA's and two darker beers, a Nut Brown and Porter. Both of the dark beers for whatever reason took way longer to carbonate. I thought they were maybe "failed" but after like a month they were actually carbonated more than I'd hoped, whereas the IPA's were ready in a week. I don't know enough about beer to even put out a guess as to why that happened but I'm curious to know if your dark beer takes longer to carbonate fully too.

Maybe try making a bourbon barrel porter with the rest of the DME

My local brewing store (the only one for hundreds of miles - literally) sold me some yeast that I used for a traditional mead recently and it came out beautiful! Mangrove Jacks mead yeast. I very highly recommend trying this yeast if you can. I didn’t change any of the steps that I’ve used in the past and my 1-gal. recipe is simply 3# wildflower, 1/4 cup chopped raisins, 1 teaspoon nutrient, 1/2 teaspoon tannin powder, water to 1-gal., Mangrove Jacks mead yeast, time. Took about 5 weeks to be ready to bottle and is my best one yet. 1.100-SG, went dry and backsweetened to 1.025. Inspired me to get equipment for a larger 5-gal. brew that I have going now. I’d love to see what you guys think about that yeast! P.S. I also recently got some Brewers Best peach flavoring for a mead. It smells really good but I’m not quite ready to use it yet.

I've been to my fair share of breweries and recognized the smell but it was so intense that I have to ask if an intense, or big, or strong fermentation smell is fine?

Beer making is different when it comes to "body" than wines, meads, ciders and such. Rather than tannins, beer utilizes sugars to create a fuller body beer. This can be done in various ways when utilizing whole grain techniques. Higher Temperatures, caramelized and roasted malts, unmalted grains, and the use of Low Attenuation Yeast Strains can aid in leaving more sugars in the brew creating a fuller bodied beer. Our end final gravity indicated that we had plenty of residual sugar left over from fermentation so that shouldn't have been the case for this particular beer.
