Jason, thanks for reaching out. I love to connect with brewers. I really aspire to work at a brewery at some point, not even necessarily as brewer but just be able to be part of a great project.

I want to toss in some actual cookies but have some qualms. Store brand cookies like Chips Ahoy have a lot of extra artificial additives and was hesitant about adding it and have it create off-tastes or mess with the beer. I was considering baking some cookies from scratch, but even then the butter may not translate well in the brewing process. Is there a way to get some cookie taste from them but filter out butter and additives? I figured that with vanilla, lactose, chocolate, I can piece together some "cookieness" but I will consider adding actual cookie if it can help.

Some great yeast recos....I mean 1084 seems like the "go-to" but I am intrigued about trying 1728. You got the wheels turning! I am still a week out and may make some revisions!

I got a chance to check out Outlander online....I would really love to stop when I around there! Beer brewed with Horny Goat Weed and the Peanut Butter Stout would be something I would immediately gravitate towards.
