Hi guys, I currently have a stout in my primary, gonna rack it to secondary on Sunday night and I am a little worried that it is kinda bland. It is only my second brew boiling all the ingredients (all canned prehopped kits before) but the wort seemed a bit tasteless.
I will taste it again before I transfer to get a sg reading but was thinking that I could maybe add some coffee to get a little more flavour, I was planning on trying a coffee stout soon anyway!
Alot depends on what it tastes like at the weekend but what can I add? Do you just add the ground coffee straight to the secondary or do I make a pot of coffee and pour that in? The only other thread I could find on this mentioned adding coffee directly to the keg (I dont keg just bottle) so would it be better to add the coffee to the bottling bucket with the priming sugar?
I also heard that coffee can interfere with carbonation and head retention due to oils contained in it, anyone got any experience with this?
Thanks for any help!
