To use peanut butter in my PBS (Peanut Butter Stout aka Reeses Peanut Butter Beer) I take the jar of peanut butter and place a paper towel on it. It will gradually wick off the oil. Keep changing the towel until the oil is mostly gone and the PB is a solidified mass. Keeping it in a very warm place will help that.
Once the oil is all gone, toss the whole jar in. Sadly, unless you use a big jar, the flavor is hard to detect.
Add some chocolate malt in, even some dry cocoa powder and let it go. Do try to skim the oils off in the boil however.
Give it a shot Gunny, I think you will like it.
Hope this helped.

ThankYa knewshound!!!
Actually, I had in mind using PB2 (powdered pb w/o the chocolate) in a Pale Ale or similar.
and hoping the pb wouldn’t darken it too much, just leaving a mild pb flavor...
