Forgot to update sooner the mead is going very well actually, took a little taste before bottling and the coffee definitely stands out smell and flavor wise, the vanilla beans left a good strong flavor that i hope will mellow a bit with age. The cocoa nibs are kinda non existant due to the other...

Yeah haha I figured

Ok so I racked it over and added the coffee, vanilla beans and cocoa nibs. Here is a picture. I think I added a little more then other people have but what the heck I thought, might as well give it a try. I used 3 vanilla beans 2 Oz of cocoa nibs and about 1.5 ounces of medium roast course...

Gotcha thanks for the input I'll let you know how it goes I an adding the ingredients tomorrow

How would the dried lactose they use for beers work??

Gonna be adding the coffee, cocoa nibs and vanilla beans to this in a couple days just to keep it updated.

I'm definitely down for anything different. A group brew sounds awesome.

I will add pictures when I add ingredients to the secondary and also the amounts of ingredients I used in it, and the og

That does sound awesome!!

Hmm that doesn't sound as bad I know with the cold brew it isn't as acidic as a regular brew but crushing the beans and adding might be a good idea

Yeah I was thinking of the vanilla to maybe mellow it out a little

Awesome I'll see if I can find it

Yeah I think I'm going to cold brew some and add the vanilla beans and possibly cocoa nibs if you think it's a good Idea to help the flavor.

Hmm I'll keep that in mind. I cold brew every once in a while and have made some that aren't super bitter but still have a nice coffee flavor so I might stick with the medium roast bean I have at the house. I live coffee porters and stouts and like brewing mead so I started thinking about it

Hey so I started 2 batches of mead and am going to add the ingredients into the secondary fermentation and planned on possibly doing a coffee one. I was wondering if anyone has tried this before? I was thinking I would have to cold brew some then add it with the vanilla and cocoa. How much...
