Its REESES FOR BEER?!?🍫🥜 [Brewing with Cereal]

[@GenusBrewing]

1.069... nice...

[@TheBruSho]

That was probably the biggest impact on flavor!

[@redballs]

Perfect for Valentines

[@JamesChurchill3]

If it finished at 1.037 that would be amazing.

[@Unsub-Me-Now]

Hey, you got chocolate peanut butter beer in my KZbin feed!

[@TheBruSho]

LOL Delicious!!

[@zachburton4190]

That ad parody cracked me up 🤣 got the immediate like

[@TheApartmentBrewer]

Congrats on breaking 1000 subscribers!! Well deserved and keep up the good work. Also props for not going down the bottled flavor extract route!

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks so much!! And haha yes I was tempted and glad I didn’t use extract!

[@tomhadtochangethis]

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!

epic video braj!

Thank you!

I would like to try and somehow make a peanut butter and honey stout.

[@jessthompson3847]

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 🍻

[@alvaradobrewhouse6387]

Dude!!! Solid... Not a fan of stouts but damn I’m inspired.

[@jaysnopek8426]

Made similar beer but added 2 packs of instant hot chocolate packs at flame out gave a nice chocolate touch to beer will brew again

[@traythomason7458]

I had this same idea! Did you add two "packets" or two boxes of packets? Thanks!

[@joecarl6143]

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.

[@allenalexander8295]

I had a chocolate mint stout the other day by Guinness that was delicious. Maybe try that.

[@edmessinger5854]

Another great video- the finished beer looked incredible! I’ve never attempted a peanut butter beer before, but it’s definitely on my list. I’ve also never seen Reese’s cereal over here in the UK so I might have to be creative!

[@TheBruSho]

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 Reese’s puffs so maybe you can find one of them

[@PortlyGentleman]

Good looking beer, it looks like you had some fun making it 🍻🍻🍻

[@TheBruSho]

Haha yeah probably my favorite video to edit so far!

[@JonFlyTV]

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.

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks for watching, PB2 is another popular brand in the U.S. hope you can try it out!

[@hackattack7811]

@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.

[@Hellbrews]

Hahaha great opening 🤙🏼🍻

[@TheBruSho]

Haha cheers Raul!

[@rachelmalin8851]

YUM 😍😍😍 sounds so good!!

@@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.

[@TheBruSho]

@@MrJay191286 I can’t 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

@@MrJay191286 haha definitely true, thanks!

[@thahank]

We don’t 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 🇸🇪 🍻

[@TheBruSho]

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.

[@kingherotv]

Great video. Great beer. May i ask your mash efficiency with your BIAB system?

[@TheBruSho]

Thanks! It hovers around 75% these days

[@andreaslinder8668]

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

[@TheBruSho]

Only thing I would say is the cereal probably doesn’t add much and you can skip that step. Best of luck!

[@andreaslinder8668]

@@TheBruSho Aha, so it's safe to say, with that minor change it is a recipe that has stood the test of time?

[@ExploringNewEngland]

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.

[@TheBruSho]

That’s true, you could totally leave it out, it was more for aesthetics I suppose

[@bladecjizal]

What did you do to combat the preservatives in the cereal from preventing the yeast from doing their job?

[@TheBruSho]

Nothing, I wouldn’t worry about that the fermentation went off without a hiccup

[@VonnCrit]

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!

[@TheBruSho]

Oh wow good call! Will definitely keep that in mind, guess I won’t be using red border for sure. Good thing you didn’t scroll past. Thank you!

[@anonsforever_]

This guy is a mad genius.

[@acadburn123]

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?

[@TheBruSho]

It was plenty peanut buttery without getting all the sludge mixed in. I wouldn’t risk oxidizing the beer by stirring

[@peterarnold1173]

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 🍻

[@TheBruSho]

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

[@peterarnold1173]

[@mjanke28]

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!

[@TheBruSho]

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

[@mushotd]

@0:35 hahah what? Nice editing!

[@TheBruSho]

Haha you don’t remember that I was in the original commercial?!

[@HomeBrewingTV]

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?

[@TheBruSho]

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!

[@georgecolby7488]

How did you keep the sediment out of your keg? The nozzle was buried in it.

[@TheBruSho]

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 didn’t move and left the sludge behind

[@PossumMedic]

Reeses puff, Reeses puffs, drink em up, drink em up, drink em up, drink em up! 😂🙌‍ Edit: Butterscotch sounds good! 😋

[@tuckerloeffen4565]

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!

[@TheBruSho]

Probably would be the same, I think you get a lot of flavor from adding it at flame out. But I can't say for sure

[@joeellis4681]

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]

Just used gravity here. Let me know if you brew it and how it comes out!

[@joeellis4681]

@@TheBruSho Thanks! I’ll 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 couldn’t add the PB at the end of the boil and make a Peanut Butter Dunkelweizen?

[@TheBruSho]

@@joeellis4681 I don’t see why not!

[@dougdietrich1496]

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?

[@TheBruSho]

That’s 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

[@ulissessanchez6832]

Any recommendations on how to add brown sugar into secondary for a sour kettle?

[@TheBruSho]

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.

[@ulissessanchez6832]

@@TheBruSho thanks for the help.

[@michelleadorno4834]

I dont have a kegging system so how long should I leave the beer in secondary for?

[@TheBruSho]

I’d say just leave the beer in fermenter until it reaches final gravity. And then move onto bottling as you normally would

[@denniskol90]

Looked like you were racking beer ánd yeast into the keg right? Is that a problem?

[@TheBruSho]

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

[@jakobkatrasnik8684]

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?

[@TheBruSho]

Yeah it fades slightly but I think I had this on tap for a month and it was definitely still peanut buttery. I don’t think bottling will help any more than kegging but I haven’t tested it out.

[@jakobkatrasnik8684]

@@TheBruSho Oh that is good, because it won't last more than a month anyway haha. Thanks!
