Notes
9/9/2018 - Transferred onto 1 lb PB2 powder. I used some of the leftover beer from the VBIP to mix the PB2 into before adding it to the bottom of a bucket and racking beer on top. FG=1.012. Sharp/almost tart note. Not sure if this was from the added cocoa powder in the boil. Also added a one split and scraped vanilla bean to the secondary to give more rounded flavor profile.
9/18/2018 - Popped the lid, and it looks like my initial tasting was not just something that needed to age out. There was a pellicle on top, and the flavor had definitely turned sour. Not sure what caused this, as I was getting some of this flavor before adding the PB2 powder. Maybe the cocoa powder I added at the end of the boil? I ended up dumping this batch unfortunately. Not sure if I'll spend the money to make another, since it's kind of a novelty beer.
