In the next 3-5 minutes the peanuts will turn from a powder to clumpy paste.This is when they start releasing their oil.
The Butter Phase

Notes

Homemade peanut butter is thinner than the store bought version because it doesn't contain the artificial thickning agents.
It is also less sweet than the bottled versions.
