Peanut Butter Cup Stout All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

We’ve always thought that whole “chocolate in my peanut butter/peanut butter in my chocolate” thing would have gone a lot smoother if there were beer involved. And this Peanut Butter Cup Stout proves it. Simply brew the rich recipe base and add your favorite powdered peanut butter to make the ultimate chocolate-peanut butter combo come true. *Note this kit does not come with peanut butter, see below for peanut butter flavoring recommendation*

With an Imperial Stout base, this recipe unites a luxuriously jet black, substantial ale with flavors of rich chocolate and peanut butter. In other words…a decadent dessert in a glass. From the first sip, you can tell from the smooth, creamy mouthfeel and dense, mousse-like foam that this stout tastes like you’ll be having another. There’s a reason peanut butter cups come in pairs, and Peanut Butter Cup Stout is no exception. Try to drink just one…we dare you!

*For the safety of all our customers, Northern Brewer maintains a warehouse free of nut allergens, which means we are not able to include peanut products in this kit. To achieve the deepest peanut-buttery flavor, we recommend adding two 6.5 oz jars of your favorite powdered peanut butter (our Head Brewer prefers PB2). Since most of the oil has been extracted from the powder, you’ll get a much creamier, smoother, flavorful beer than using real peanut butter. If you are looking for an alternative to powdered peanut butter, we offer peanut butter natural flavor extract.

Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.
