This is not an excepted method but let me relay you what i did with my last batch. I had no activity after 48 hrs and could not get to the brew store because I was notified to go on a 4 day trip at the last minute. So I sanitized a second carboy and dumped the yeasted wort into it. Trying to...

I finished brewing/drinking a 5 gal. batch of coffee porter not too long ago. After primary during racking to my bottling bucket I added about 16 oz of French pressed/brewed starbucks to taste. After three weeks in the bottle it tasted great. This method allows you to add more or less to...
