Great first postachio, mate. Welcome to the board!

There's a link to such a recipe in this thread: aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/19744-nut-ale/

I prefer wolnuts, personally

Postachios are pretty aggressive as they are Pistachios that have had the pis taken out of them.

Could be too oily and tend to destroy head, I'd guess.

so this is the recipe i was thinking about making

so from looking at that nut ale it seems like its no prob to just put them in with the grain

so my recipe would be

25l batch

4.0 pale malt
0.2 crystal
0.3 wheat
0.5 crushed pistachios

25g cascade@60 mins

From October 2012 issue of BYO:
"roast pistachio's with a propane blowtorch, steep in 3 cups of boiling water, freeze liquid and scrape off any fats that rise to the top. Thaw and add mixture to secondary"

Planning to do similar with macadamia's to a choc porter. mmmm macadamia choc porter....
