Whiskey Infused with Peanut Butter: A Guide to White Dog
So here is the setup
So last infusion I just threw in watermelon slices and juice in the thumper with mash in the main boiler and it worked amazing for watermelon flavored white dogbut I have two 2-1/4# jugs of powdered peanut butter if I was to throw some hearts into the thumper with the powdered peanut butter and a bag each of crushed walnuts and pecans I roasted lightly do you think I could get it to work for a peanut butter flavor white dog, do you think it would clog from the peanut butter powder turning into to thick pastey slop or would the alcohol would keep it thin enough to run out gallon or two of drinkable pb infused whiskey cause I’ve been wanting to try this so bad cause I like screwball whiskey it’s just too weak for my taste and I’m just a little nervous about it maybe getting too thick to thump and building too much pressure cause I have a half inch npt to 90degree 1/2” copper downcomer that goes in to the side thumper, it’s not just a open 2” tri clamp so it goes to the center of bottom and has smaller bubbles to get Hogg proof and flavorDo you think I should mix peanut butter powder and alcohol first so I know how thin to make it

Might be worth a bash Cronicle, i never run a thumper but i would have thought peanut butter would stay pretty fluid in there throughout the run, In my limited experience, vapour is recondensed in the thumper equal to vapor leaving so logically it should stay pretty fluid until the vapour from the pot starts to slow also peanuts are high in oils and fats so heat will keep the peanut powder loose, as i say, i never run a thumper so it’s theory to me. So could be off the mark.Nothing ventured nothing gained I would be interested how that turns out, cos i like peanut butter, i wander if i could use some in my air still to make a peanut vodi.Food for thought.Good luck.Reefer1

On first qt, now not a problem heavy on smell and flavor of pb at 85% but I’m ready to proof it down I did 3qts 130 with one 2.25 jug of pb powder with 1 pint roasted walnuts n 1 pint honey in thumper.But atm, No regrets so far!

From my experience with nut likker, it’s unlikely that you will get too much flavor but, if you do, you can blend it with neutral or whiskey to get a flavor profile that you like.

Niiice CronicleOne thing, can you taste walnuts and huney in the flavour profile?In the uk i never seen powdered pb, i would have to use smooth pb, supermarket brand, honey, walnuts no problem.So normally in my 4.5 lit air still i would put 1.5 litre of 60 abv neut. And that would generally make me a good litre plus of redistilled spirit, i only ever made gin, so pb would be a new thing, i think it’s going to be a bit suck it and see on the qty’s of ingredients, i’m thinkin, maybe 250gms pb 100gms honey and 50gms crushed walnuts. With 24 hour masceration at 60c that should pull the oils out.Is my science sound i ask myself ?? Lol.I want to keep pb up front on the profile with walnut and honey secondary, Any suggestions guys on process and ingredients qty’sWelcome.If this turns out over flavoured, as NZchris say’s it can be diluted.Reefer1
