I'm brewing the NB Peace Coffee stout porter. As of today it's been in the primary (bucket) for two weeks. Somewhere around this time I am supposed to be moving it to secondary, waiting two weeks, then adding the coffee and bottling a week later. The kit included a 4oz blend of coffee and tells me to grind it coarsely and add it to secondary. I have a better bottle 5gallon to use as secondary.
Should I follow these instructions? If so, how do I ensure that the ground coffee is sanitized and won't infect my beer? Should I grind the coffee and soak it in vodka? And what do you think about the timeline?
Primary Two Weeks (I'm at the end of this)
Secondary Two Weeks

Continue in Secondary 1 Week

Thanks again,
Zach
