Notes

Original recipe called for Artisan Magnum hops at 9.9% AA. We substituted Horizon hops at 11.4% AA.

We left out the Trent and Burton Salts and the Calcium Chloride.

We also used 4 ounces of cocoa nibs rather than 3, as that is how much comes in a package.

Instead of PB2, which you need to buy at a health food store, we bought peanut butter flavoring in liquid form. The directions on that said to add at packaging time, so we are not adding to boil. I found out later you can buy peanut butter powder at Target. The liquid we used taste like chemicals to me, but I have had a lot of great comments on the beer.
