I am hoping these videos continue once the HBC 99 is complete. Love it Martin. You’ve been an absolute inspiration to my own brewing here in Highbury, South Australia
I wasn't expecting this... good to see you're still experimenting. Experimental brews are the heart of homebrewing. I've got a ton of ideas and yeasts and hops to try...
I’ve found that an addition of a peanut butter liquid extract at packaging in conjunction with PB2 in the boil usually gives me the results I’m personally looking to achieve (1oz into a 5 gallon keg is what I landed on). Peanut butter aroma becomes more pronounced allowing PB to take center stage without muddling other characteristics.
@@Mike_Wazowskii7 I’ve had success with Brewer’s Best Peanut Butter Extract, so that may be a good place to start. Looking over old notes, All Star Extracts brand yielded good results as well. Your mileage may vary, and there are a plethora of options out there to try. Happy Brewing.
@@Mike_Wazowskii7 I would certainly research options that are more local to you and the EU rather than importing. We’re supposed to be brewing to pretend like we’re saving money on our beer not wasting dollars/euros on import fees!
Chocolate PB Porter was one of my favorite beers I have ever made! I too had a bump in OG from the powdered PB. But the saddest day was when it was all gone.
Just got a twister for my Allrounder (on the off chance we have an actual summer in the UK) so really good to see you using it and it obviously worked well. :)
@@TheHomebrewChallenge I tried to get one for ages but they just weren't available here so I was forced to insulate an old cupboard I then drilled some holes for the piping to the twister from a cold water source.. It also works in the cold as I added a greenhouse tube heater.
Great work mate, another thumbs up from me! I made my Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake Stout around the same time you made the Porter, however I added the PB2 after active fermentation, which was a little disappointing as it sank quickly and gave little to no noticeable flavour, but it did give off a nice PB aroma. I'll follow your method next time and add it in the boil and maybe an 'aroma' addition during fermentation. It's a mouthful to say but it is an awesome result.
Peanut butter stouts are great super cold on a hot sunny day. Great brew. I was wondering how one dealt with the oil factor when brewing a beer like this.
I wonder if Sabro hops, with their coconut notes, would be a good substitute for EKG hops at the 10 minute mark... hmmm... and I don't even have proper equipment to brew beer yet!
Hey Martin, I tried the peanut butter Porter twice (first in the boil and second I've added PB powder on secondary) and didn't get enough PB in final beer. We need a yeast which can do biotransformation with the peanut butter powder so we can dry hop with 😆. Cheers!
Hey Martin!! great vid man. in my humble opinion, you should put out more vids like this outside the challenge. the review with your kid is great, it really gives an authentic atmosphere. awsome resepee by the way. one quick doubt. how do you find the all rounder ?
I use the same hop spider that you do and I find when A/B'ed with the same recipe made without using it the perceived level of bitterness is pretty significant. Do you make adjustments in your recipes to more accurately hit your target IBUs? I've settled on somewhat of a hybrid approach where I add my bittering additions right to the boil and have later flavor and aroma additions go in the spider (with a 25% increase in what I would normally use for what's going in the spider).
Do a jalapeño or cayenne pepper beer... something with a spicy finish and a noticeable kick. This pallet is largely ignored and I believe could be the next big flavor profile to breakthrough in brewing.
Hey Martin, I was wondering why you don't use the insulation jacket for the clawhammer. I thought, you liked it and it keeps the heat in the mash, so less cost for heating.
Awesome video! I just brewed peanut butter milk stout with PB2 but I'm having trouble with head retention. How did yours turn out with the head retention?
PB2 is just ok, but found it doesn't blend to well unless you're making a smoothie or as strong taste as using regular peanut butter. If you want to make this brew more peanut butter forward you could just add a 30-60 ml shot of Skrewball peanut butter whiskey in with your pint. Suggesting a mermite beer wood be cheeky so any thoughts on a Smores stout or porter? They're are a few beer companies that make it, but seems like it would be too sweet, because most use chocolate syrup instead of using coco nibs and artificial flavorings. Some actually add in gram crackers and marshmallows in the mashing stag. Would be interesting how much of a marshmallow flavor you could you get by using marshmallow root?
Seems I got a good bit of the PB powder into kegging, despite it settling out well in the fermentation (left probably 1.5 gallons in the bottom). This lead to stuff growing in the beer. Any ways to prevent this?

Agreed, extract + pb2 gives the right amount of flavour and aroma.
Any extracts you'd recommend (or not)?

@@jerz9796 hopefully they ship to EU lol thanks for your answer on a 7 month old post.

Not one I expected, but cool to see experimental brewing going on! Keep it up sir.
Thank you
This was too cute and what a great recipe. I will have to try this out soon
Nice one Martin! Can't believe the 99 styles are almost complete, was wondering what you'd get up to afterwards! Cheers and beers from East Anglia!
Chocolate PB Porter was one of my favorite beers I have ever made! I too had a bump in OG from the powdered PB. But the saddest day was when it was all gone.
The tasting was just fantastic! LOL
Congrats!
Thanks!

Cool. Do you have the jacket too? Between those two I was able to cold crash super fast and maintain temps.

Nice to the young man on again, thanks for the vids
I have also really wanted to use the PB2 in a beer, so glad to see that it's possible. May have to increase the amount though
i've read peanut butter extract works a little better. pb2 separates
I think I'll try this PB and chocolate addition in my chinooklehead porter recipe.

Gonna have to give this one a go! Great work Martin. 🍻
If you have access, add screwball. (PB whiskey) Works brilliantly! Keep up the great content
As has been said before the recipe is missing. I would love to try it out. Keep up the great videos.
Keep going, Martin

It looks absolutely fantastic! For how many days did you leave the cocoa nibs before bottling/kegging?
2 videos in 1 week! Cheers!!
that brand sells dehydrated peanut butter chocolate powder
Hey Martin, I was wondering why you don't use the insulation jacket for the clawhammer. I thought, you liked it and it keeps the heat in the mash, so less cost for heating.
Yes I do like the jacket. I’d imagine the addition energy to maintain mash temps over a hour is pretty minimal but it sure wouldn’t hurt.
Measure it?
Excellent beer man! I'm going to try that!

The benchmark is Sweet Baby Jesus...how does it compare?

What happened to the lichtenhainer? I thought that was next.
PB2 added 380g of protein to the beer, guess I can take this beer to the gym.
Lol 💪
This is proof that almost every good thing in life can be put in a glass.
what state are you in Bro?
What is the background song in the start called?
Best tasting ever :D
Recipe is blank!
Reeces. Reeces is the correct answer. You've lived in the US long enough to know ;P Awesome vid!
Lover
This is the most American sounding beer ever😂
Martin, you forgot to write down the recipe :) Cheers!
Cool video, FYI the recipe is missing from the description!
Drink a few pints and then say 'Chocolate peanut butter porter' as fast as you can! 🤣🤣
Chocolate pea-port butter, chocport.....
