I am going to add some cold brew coffee to my secondary tomorrow and then keg the batch. I would add the coffee to the keg and then rack on top of it, but I want to bottle some beers, as i don't think my keg will be able to hold my entire batch.
however, in the past, i have added priming sugar to the secondary and had trouble mixing it in completely - some beers were over carbed and some under. I'm afraid that this will happen with the coffee too. i dont want my bottled beers to be real heavy on the coffee and leave none for the keg, or vice versa.
will the coffee distribute evenly through the beer? will it have a tendency to sink or float? should i let it sit for awhile to mix in before bottling/kegging? let me know if i am worrying about it too much or if anyone has had a problem adding coffee this way.
