NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to 
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to 
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Peanut Butter Porter

Not that I'm really interested in making a peanut butter beer..
But I did a quick experiment with a half tsp of peanut butter in warm water.
Just dissolve your peanut butter in warm water, allow to sit and wait for
the oil to float to the surface of the water and skim (or pour)off.
 That will remove the greater majority of the oil out of the peanut
butter.  I expect that a fair amount of the "flavor" is contained in the
oil, but this process should work fine to minimize the head retention
problem. Now the question is how much peanut butter for a 5 gallon
batch...hmmm?
I always use organic natural peanut butter that has ZERO hydrogenated oils.

I would have been concerned about the oils in peanut butter as well.   But 
after judging a couple excellent peanut butter beers (a chocolate peanut 
butter porter was excellent), I talked to the brewers.  They simply added 
the peanut butter at the end of the boil.   These beers did not have a 
problem with head or its retention.   So perhaps the concern over the oils 
is over-stated.   Similarly when adding coconut to a beer; I thought the 
coconut oil would be a problem.  It wasn't.   Try it and see if there really 
is a problem or if this is over-stated.
