I am brewing a coffee brown. The brown ale is finished and I am adding 10oz of coffee grounds to the finished beer for a 24-hour cold-steep. I was considering racking off a liter or so, adding the grounds to that, chilling for 24 hours and straining back to the carboy.
My questions are: Any experience on this? Racking some of the beer to another vessel for coffee extraction seems like an unnecessary step. I think I would prefer adding the coffee to the carboy and chilling for 24 hours and than racking with my autosiphon to a keg. Anythoughts on whether the coffee grounds will cause trouble with the autosiphon?
Thanks.
