Working that nut

My allergies kicked into high gear this weekend which I thought was the perfect time to make a wheat beer...then I double checked and saw that sneezing in your beer isn't a good thing, in fact everything indicated it was a bad thing - so I didn't make any more beer this weekend.

I did rack the peanut butter porter and it smells amazing. There were two small pools of oil on top, but I managed to keep it out of the transfer. I may do another transfer before bottling to get rid of the peanut bits and any oil I may have missed - if it goes well I'll post the recipe and we can all work on establishing this as a legitimate style.

My lemonade is still refusing to unstick - I'm debating throwing a scrap of trub from my next porter racking. The lemonade has a fairly powerful taste so the traces of heavy porter flavor shouldn't show up at all, but screwing it up now would really suck.
