Default Should I add coffee?

I just brewed this today (Mill Run Stout from Palmer) and was planning on making it a coffee stout for Thanksgiving, but I think it might be a little bitter already and even more bitter possibly with coffee. I plan on trying the cold brewing method to make the coffee. Could I add coffee to the 2ndary without making it too bitter?

Try adding the coffee a little at a time, let it age for a few days, taste it and add more if you want. Thats how I added my bourbon to my bourbon porter.

When I saw the title, my first thought was a cold extract/brew. I've never tried it personally, but I do trust Randy Mosher!
