We brewed this the other day and it's REALLY good. The only comments I'd have is that the PB2 probably makes a difference. We used PB&Me and it's got way more of a peanut shell flavour than peanut butter. Also we didn't use the Reeses breakfast cereal and I'd put money on that having an impact on the lack of Peanut flavour. Overall a 10/10 but next time we'll use the correct ingredients and maybe even consider some PB flavouring. Oh and FYI expect a lot of loss on this brew. The gunk at the bottom of the fermentor is about 20% of the total volume, due to the PB powder I'd guess!
Thank you Trent for making these videos. I never would have tried all grain brewing without them. Finally tried brew in a bag instead of extract, now I'll never go back! I just made this recipe minus the peanut butter, and it's the best beer I've ever made. Cheers đ»
if you dont sterilize the pb fit, do not bottle condition it at room temp. it will kick off 2nd fermentation. keg it then counter pressure bottle fill it.
Another great video- the finished beer looked incredible! Iâve never attempted a peanut butter beer before, but itâs definitely on my list. Iâve also never seen Reeseâs cereal over here in the UK so I might have to be creative!
Yeah you could totally leave out the cereal if you can find the powdered peanut butter you will be set. But I know there are some off brand Reeseâs puffs so maybe you can find one of them
Great show! I will try this recipe. I do hope you will one day consider using the Anvil Foundry all in one 10.5 brewing machine for some of your videos the BIAB method x 5. Now on the hunt for the PB Fit.
@Jon Fly. Did you try this recipe in the anvil? Was wondering if you had any problems tranferring the wort to the fermenter while using the pump with all the PB fit.
Great video man! Cereal in the mash?! Awesome idea....mind = blown! High ABV dark beer with chocolate and peanut butter is basically my dream beer. I will brew one up soon :)
This is amazing. PB Fit is available in the UK to so will definitely be trying this, had a peanut and choc porter back at Christmas and been trying to work out how to recreate it. brilliant.
@@TheBruSho got all my bits ordered, can't wait to brew this one. how do you think the beers aged? did the chocolate and peanut flavours hold out? i'm thinking of bottling half the batch to enjoy later and putting half in a keg. or I may up the batch size.
@@MrJay191286 I canât say for sure how long the flavor lasts but for the month that it was in my keg it stayed pretty strong. Only the peanut butter flavor diminished slightly
@@TheBruSho something tells me if this is as tasty as I hope, it won't last long lol, my hope is if I have some in bottles I can hide them away to enjoy a few months down the line. Keep up the good work. loving the channel.
We donât have that PB Powder(or something similar). Will regular PB work just as fine? Great channel, found you today and you have a new sub :-) //Greetings from Sweden đžđȘ đ»
TY! Only concern with regular PB is the oils that are in it, would really mess things up. Might be better finding a flavor extract if you can't find the powder stuff.
nice. only thing I don't like is the cereal addition. Think about how processed that stuff is and all the added vitamins and minerals they put in it. I bet it tastes great! nice video.
Hi Trent. Loved the vid. Just something ive noticed. The thumbnail of the vid in my feed has an orange border which is very close to the red line you get when youve watched a vid, so i almost scrolled past! I checked the release date and realised its a new vid and looked again. Just thought id mention it. Thanks for the great sho!
Hey Trent, I'm soon about to brew my first Choc PB Porter based on your video. What are your thoughts on this video since it is 2 years "old"? Would you have done anything differently today? @TheBruSho
Hey Trent, I just wanted to say I love all of the grain-to-glass videos you put out. Keep them coming! Also, just a general question. When you put the percentage of each grain, Example: -75% Maris Otter (Pale Ale Malt) -16.7% Munich Malt -4.2% Chocolate Malt ..... What is the percentage pertaining to? Weight of the water? Total weight of grains? Something else? Thanks in advance, love the channel!
Hey thanks so much for watching. Glad you like the vids! And that is percentage of total grains/fermentables. I use a brewing software and it usually tells you the percentages based on weight of the grains
Hi mate love your work makes a lot of sense to a beginner like me. I'm brewing a extract stout and would like to add a bit of coffee flavour to the keg . Any advice that may help me I would really appreciate thanks đ»
Hey thanks! I think probably the easiest way is to make some cold brew and dose it into the keg. Pull a small sample of your stout and dose it at different rates and then scale it up to the whole batch
@@TheBruSho thanks mate appreciate getting back to me so quick. I was thinking of grinding coffee steeping in the fridge for 2 days probably 1lt water not sure how much coffee 10gram??. Thanks again for your thoughts. Cheers Pete.
So I realize as a typical rule stiring a beer during fermentation is a no no..... However with that much on sludge @ the bottom..... Think itd help up the pb taste?
We just did a peanut butter cup stout using an extract for the peanut butter flavor. The base was a great! Rich chocolate roasted notes with a creamy mouth feel, but after adding the extract it became watery, and lifeless. The peanut butter aroma is out of this world, but it lacks in flavor. Anything along those lines happen with your beer using powder?
Oh wow interesting. I had thought about using extract but read so many people liked the way the powder worked. And I agree it turned out really good both on aroma and flavor. And it seems to be sticking around for quite a while. I say give that a try next time!
I poured out a pint or so before going into keg. And it was all good from there out. The sediment was settled so it didnât move and left the sludge behind
Hey Trent, do you think allowing the peanut butter sludge to sit in the fermenter adds to the pb flavor at all? Or would it be the same if you didn't transfer it to the fermenter? Thanks!
I am definitely going to try this one! Question about transferring to keg - did you have CO2 going into the fermenter to nudge the beer into the keg or is it just gravity?
@@TheBruSho Thanks! Iâll give that a shot. Another question for you - I have a Dunkelweizen kit and just so happen to have a jar of PB Fit at the house. Is there any reason I couldnât add the PB at the end of the boil and make a Peanut Butter Dunkelweizen?
Sugar will ferment out so I would think you need to stabilize the beer first with some preservative if you want to keep the sweetness and flavor. And I would say boil a small bit of water to dissolve the sugar and then add it in.
Great video, I want to make something similar myself. I have heard that the taste of PB fades over time, is that true or it stays? And also do you think that it would stay better if bottled?
Yeah it fades slightly but I think I had this on tap for a month and it was definitely still peanut buttery. I donât think bottling will help any more than kegging but I havenât tested it out.

1.069... nice...
That was probably the biggest impact on flavor!
Perfect for Valentines
If it finished at 1.037 that would be amazing.
Congrats on breaking 1000 subscribers!! Well deserved and keep up the good work. Also props for not going down the bottled flavor extract route!
Thanks so much!! And haha yes I was tempted and glad I didnât use extract!

@Jon Fly. Did you try this recipe in the anvil? Was wondering if you had any problems tranferring the wort to the fermenter while using the pump with all the PB fit.

Make one you wonât regret it!

Thanks! It hovers around 75% these days
Hey Trent, I'm soon about to brew my first Choc PB Porter based on your video. What are your thoughts on this video since it is 2 years "old"? Would you have done anything differently today? @TheBruSho
Only thing I would say is the cereal probably doesnât add much and you can skip that step. Best of luck!
@@TheBruSho Aha, so it's safe to say, with that minor change it is a recipe that has stood the test of time?
What did you do to combat the preservatives in the cereal from preventing the yeast from doing their job?
Nothing, I wouldnât worry about that the fermentation went off without a hiccup

So I realize as a typical rule stiring a beer during fermentation is a no no.....
However with that much on sludge @ the bottom..... Think itd help up the pb taste?
It was plenty peanut buttery without getting all the sludge mixed in. I wouldnât risk oxidizing the beer by stirring

I poured out a pint or so before going into keg. And it was all good from there out. The sediment was settled so it didnât move and left the sludge behind
I dont have a kegging system so how long should I leave the beer in secondary for?
Iâd say just leave the beer in fermenter until it reaches final gravity. And then move onto bottling as you normally would
Hey Trent, do you think allowing the peanut butter sludge to sit in the fermenter adds to the pb flavor at all? Or would it be the same if you didn't transfer it to the fermenter? Thanks!

@@joeellis4681 I donât see why not!
It looked like the spigot of the fermenter was well below the top of the trube line. How did you manage to not transfer all of it into the keg?
Thatâs really a lot of peanut butter sludge and it kind of stuck to the sides. It was sludgy for the first second and then came out clear beer
Reeses puff, Reeses puffs, drink em up, drink em up, drink em up, drink em up! đđâ
Edit: Butterscotch sounds good! đ
Any recommendations on how to add brown sugar into secondary for a sour kettle?
Sugar will ferment out so I would think you need to stabilize the beer first with some preservative if you want to keep the sweetness and flavor. And I would say boil a small bit of water to dissolve the sugar and then add it in.
@@TheBruSho thanks for the help.

@@jakobkatrasnik8684 lol exactly!
O man. Dairy Queen Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard with extra Reeses pieces. I'm just going to dump it into the ferment......
That used to be my go to!
Looked like you were racking beer ĂĄnd yeast into the keg right? Is that a problem?
No problem, just try to minimize the yeast so you have less pulls of yeast slurry from keg. But it all drops out and pours out in first few pints
isnt the fats from the cereal going to kill the foam and head retention?
It might have some impact so if you are worried about that you can totally leave the cereal out
Can Biofine Clear be used if I bottle my beer?.
As far as I understand yes, but I havenât tried to bottle with biofine dosed batched yet. Will do some experimenting and find out!
@@TheBruSho thanks a lot for always replying to my questions. đ
@@sergioamathon6599 of course I love the comments!
Why the biofine clear?
Probably not necessary but just wanted to see if it could help with any peanut butter sludge that may have got into the keg
