Hoping somebody could help me out, I'm brewing a java stout from midwestsupplies and am only using a primary (no secondary). when and how should I add the coffee? Just pour it in after 3 weeks? do I mix at all? thanks
rycov said:i would think it would be. also you can stir (carefully, without splashing) in jkku bottling bucket. i was just suggesting not to do it in the fermenter so you didn't stir up the yeast sediment.

what exactly does cold brewed mean? Just make the coffee and stick it in the fridge for a couple days?

I was going to try this myself but several people told me the alcohol in the fermented beer can extract some odd flavor from the coffee beans, don't know how true this is. But I do know steeping a pound of course ground beans steeped in water in the fridge for a couple days yields excellent smooth results. If someone knows, or wants to try, how steeping in the fermentor comes out I would like to know the results.
