Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm tossing around the idea of brewing up a batch using Edme Red Ale hopped extract, 5 cups corn sugar to lighten it up a little, and Wyeast American Liquid Ale #1056. I'd like to impart this with a slight hint of peanut aftertaste but from all of my searches it doesn't appear that this has been tried by too many people. Does this just sound to gross or something? Has anyone tried adding a peanut flavor to a homebrewed beer before? Any suggestions on how I would do it? I was thinking I could steep some peanuts in a grain bag but then I'm not sure how much of the peanut flavor would even come out. I thought about using either peanut butter or peanut oil but I'm not sure what kind of effect that would have during fermentation or contamination, especially since I'm sure there are some preservatives in peanut butter at least. What do you think?
