I am looking to make a porter and add nuts to it. One of the methods I read about suggested roasting the nuts in the oven to get the oils out, then crushing and adding the nuts to a mason jar with enough vodka to cover them and letting them soak for a week, after which you would then add the liquor to the beer in secondary.
1. Would the vodka impart any alcohol flavor in the beer doing so? I'd imagine it would take quite a bit of vodka to cover up a pound of nuts.
2. Has anyone done this and had success?
3. If not this method, what method do you recommend to add nut flavoring to beer?
