Sanitizing Peanuts

[BrewMonkster]

I'm planning on making a chocolate peanut butter porter, I plan on using the nuts for secondary. The only thing that I haven't figured out is how to sanitize the nuts without using liquor. Any help out there from anyone that has done this? Thanks for any help in advance!!!

Most people use peanut butter powder to add that peanutty flavor. I would be concerned about the oils remaining in whole nuts destroying the head on your beer. If that is not a concern, maybe you could grind them up and boil them? Sounds messy.

What did you end up doing? I am going to add mine right in there, I will let you know if I have any issues with infection or head retention!

Mine turned out better than I could ask for. The flavor is amazing and no infections.

I'd love to know what you did for this. I've been wanting to get my hands on a peanut butter or nutella porter for some time now
