I've brewed a recipe pretty similar to the one listed before and really liked how it turned out, but I was just wondering if I should still stick to the same hopping schedule since I am adding the coffee.

I was also thinking of adding some flaked barley, maybe 1/2 - 1 lb. Not sure on that though.
 
I do love my coffee, I usually drink Starbucks' French Roast in the morning, which I think is their darkest roast. I brewed up some of the Kaldi's coffee that I'm using in this recipe and it was nowhere near as bold, so that's why I was looking at 8 oz. I may bump it down to 6 oz. though, my Breakfast stout clone that I just bottled had 4 oz. total and it had a pretty distinct coffee flavor, not quite as much as I was looking for in this beer though. Only one way to find out I guess :mug:
