Yep, I searched. Yep, searched on Google. I did not find anything on the subject or very little/conflicting info. I am planning on a Founder's Breakfast stout clone and thought I would use Water Joe to make the batch so it would have caffeine. I like this beer very much but wish it had an actual "boost" to it as I like to drink it with my breakfast (on special occasions not daily), as the name implies... I am calling mine "STFU Breakfast Stout" which will be FANTASTIC to have when camping, or special all day drinking events, to start the day out right.
:rockin:
I am mostly concerned about the mash and then the boil, since I do all grain. I am worried about efficiency and the actual loss of the caffeine during the process not to mention would this be insta-death to the yeast when pitching???
Would I be better off trying to use coffee instead of the Water Joe? or make the Water Joe into coffee (Cold brewed) then use that to mash and sparge???
I am willing to try but am wondering if anyone else has tried this and has any input. I just picked up the grains today so I will be brewing it soon.
Thanks in advance...
