Good Evening,
I make all kinds of beers from ales to stouts all the time and have decided to go with a coffee stout this weekend. I was just wondering the standard or best way to add the coffee.
I've heard that it should be brewed seperately and then added to the boil. Is this correct? or should it be steeped in the boil?
Lastly, anyone have any idea how much coffee to use for a 5 gallon batch?
I will be using a robust bean known as Velvet Hammer to produce my Velvet Hammer coffee stout.
Please let me know if anyone has any experience in coffee stouts.
Thanks,
D
