    Amount of Coffee for stout...

    This is right in line with the method and amounts I've used for cold brewing coffee for my mocha stout. I believe it ended up with about 32 ounces of cold brewed coffee that I added to my beer.

    Amount of Coffee for stout...

    I add cold brewed coffee to my mocha stout when I keg it. As noted above, cold brew coffee will give you a very smooth, mellow and non-acidic coffee flavor to your stout. In my mind the beer's bitterness should come from the hops used rather unintended coffee bitterness.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer McAustin's Mocha Stout (w/cold-brewed coffee)

    I don't really subscribe to set time frames for beer to be ready to drink. I'd call those minimums really, but if it's ready before that, drink up. I think beersmith had default values for the times that were defaulted to something real low (like a couple of days each or something) so I just...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer McAustin's Mocha Stout (w/cold-brewed coffee)

    This is a bit late for you... Anyway, for future reference you could store the cold-brewed coffee for at least a couple of days but eventually it will go bad. Couldn't tell you what the short mash time on the oats would do, but I'm sure you still made beer :cross: To answer another...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer McAustin's Mocha Stout (w/cold-brewed coffee)

    Nope, we use a pound of very coarsely ground coffee and fill our pitcher with water in it. Then it gets filtered and we generally end up with 28-32 ounces of cold-brewed coffee. I add all of the coffee to my 5 gallon batches when I keg them. The filtering/straining takes a little while, but...

    Beyond Black and Tan

    I tried a Javamber last night... My Mocha Stout poured on top of my Amber, and it actually tasted really good! Had another tonight.

    my 15 gal conical

    Be sure to post up how you like it! I have a pair of 6.5 gallon minibrew conicals and love them. I'd sure like something in the 15 gallon size as well.

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer McAustin's Mocha Stout (w/cold-brewed coffee)

    Smoo and LT- I actually have a keg of my Mocha Stout on tap right now too. As Smoo said, the coffee will typically mellow out with some time. My wife and I really like the strong coffee flavor though. As far as the hop bitterness coming through, I never intended for it to have much hoppyness...

    Any homebrewers out there from Alaska?

    I don't live in Alaska yet, but am also moving up there later this summer. I'm going up to Anchorage though. Looking forward to the move!

    Brinkman Smoker

    That is the smoker that I own and use. I love it. Someone else mentioned that they had heard that side-mounted fire boxes are hard to control, but I find this MUCH easier to control than the cylindrical Brinkman that I used to have (and gave a way). I hold a steady 225 degrees for as long as...
