Ok i know there are plenty of threads on here to read though for advice on adding coffee, the only problem is that they all have different measurements or are lacking some sort of crucial information (for the most part) I want to dumb it down and ask again because I want to add coffee to the oatmeal stout I have in the primary right now. So:
-I have a 5 gal batch of beer. How much water (in ounces) should I use to cold brew the coffee? (less is more, i dont want to water down the beer)
-How much (in ounces) ground coffee beans should I add to the water?
Im assuming once im done cold brewing I have created a coffee concentrate.
-Do I then add the concentrate I just created to the secondary (or keg as in my case) and rack on top, or do I use the coffee concentrate to make a pot coffee and add that? (i want the smallest amount of liquid added to avoid diluting the beer so im thinking of using the concentrate)
-How much of the concentrate (in ounces) should I add to a 5gal batch (dont want to overpower it, dont want to barely detect it either so Id certainly appreciate the benefit of your trial and error)
Thanks in advance for the input. I will add my process and results for future rookies like myself.
