    This looks great. I wonder... The extracts that coffee houses use? I know a guy at the local shop I could get an ounce no problem would that be the same stuff?. He has peanut butter, Carmel, chocolate, etc... I've been contemplating the possibility of a peanut butter chocolate stout experiment using these.

    I think you could use that stuff too. I looked at everywhere locally. Even places like whole foods and couldn't find the stuff.

    Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

    It's a Christmas beer. Oh and I think I may mash higher next time. I might go for 154 or 155.
