tonka beans

Post by Scraggy » Fri Sep 15, 2017 1:47 pm

Hi guys.

Loving tonka beans in milk stouts but wondering how you would incorporate the ingredient into the brew. Mash? Boil? Ferment?.... And quantity? Anyone dabbled?

Thanks

You'll get them on eBay.
I believe the FDA have banned them in the US.

I'm not lazy just meant opening a separate screen which I did as curiosity got the better of me because you know curiosity never killed the cat it was the Eddie stobart truck

Just another try at this... Does anyone have any idea about tonka beans. I have 50g ot them, 100g cocoa nibs and 150g toasted coconut. Thinking about throwing it all in the fermenter after a week and racking off after another week. (Milk stout). Any thoughts? TIA
