•• ATTENTION: THE INGREDIENTS OF THIS KIT HAVE CHANGED ••
We are bringing this kit back by popular demand. The kit does not include the two 6.5oz jars of peanut butter powder required to make the recipe, but can be purchased separately here. You can always omit the peanut butter powder, it will still make an excellent chocolate stout. Due to the oil and fat content, we do not recommend using regular peanut butter. The powder is a key ingredient.
The guys at Midwest encountered this beer out at the National Home Brewers Conference earlier this year. Upon the first taste this appears to be a great stout, but then your palate gets a surprise assault. After the familiar stout flavors cross your palate you are presented with a peanut blast that lingers on your tongue. The combination is one you will not soon forget. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Here are a few words from the creators of Beavr Nutz:
The Brewing Enthusiasts of the Antelope Valley Region (BEAVR) is a homebrewing club from Lancaster, CA. BEAVR was founded in 2009 when a few friends with a passion for brewing decided to share their beers at the Southern California Homebrewers Festival. The club now boasts almost two dozen members and holds monthly meeting on the first Friday of each month. BEAVR has become a great outlet for homebrewers of the Antelope Valley to share ideas and techniques to improve the quality of their beers. The club also prides itself on pushing the envelope of creativity with both their beer recipes as well as their beer names (It Burns When IPA, Me So Honey, Buggered BEAVR…).
How about brewing a peanut butter cup beer? The idea was first presented to the club by Roger Morrissey. Roger’s idea sounded both challenging and delicious. In February 2010, the club’s three founding members, Street Beguhl, Roger Morrissey, and Juan Salcedo, came together to brew an Imperial Stout as a base for this peanut butter cup beer. After the addition of cocoa nibs, cocoa powder, and peanut butter powder, the beer was aptly named Chocolate Covered BEAVR Nutz. BEAVR Nutz has been a real crowd pleaser at the Southern California Homebrewers Festival the past two years and was a hit at the 2011 National Homebrewers Conference. We hope you enjoy the coating mouth feel and creamy aftertaste of your nuts!
